What is Teeth Whitening?
Everyone wants a bright white smile, and your teenager is no different. Your child’s teeth may become stained or discolored for a variety of reasons, ranging from diet and lifestyle choices to health and medications. Here are some of the common causes of teeth staining:
- Teas and coffee
- Sports drinks
- Carbonated beverages and soft drinks
- Berries and other strongly-colored foods
- Sauces such as soy, tomato, and curries
- Certain prescription medications
- Built-up plaque and tartar
If you child wants to treat their stained teeth and reveal a brighter, more natural smile, schedule a visit to Sweetpea Smiles. Our caring dentist and friendly dental team offer safe teeth whitening treatment to gently remove stains.
