Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is an aesthetic procedure  aimed at making teeth whiter. There are several reasons why teeth can become yellow or dull over time, including consumption of certain foods and beverages, smoking, age, and lack of adequate dental care. Tooth whitening can help remove these stains and make your teeth look whiter and brighter.

There are several types of teeth whitening, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
