Sewasaunt:
Firstly, normal healthy adult teeth can vary in colour from white to off white to cream or yellow.
Baby/children teeth are whiter.
It is nature, that is how it should be and the emphasis should be on clean, healthy teeth and not colour like most of us tend to believe.
Now, the teeth can also be stained yellow or dark brown or similar colour especially due to poor oral hygiene and diet (tomato paste, coke, Fanta, coffee, HERBS!)
In such instances, Dentists or Dental hygienists can clean your teeth to make them whiter and brighter with an ultrasonic scaler; this procedure is painless (though there may be sensitivity in some people) and not too time consuming. Price ranges from 6,000 to 20,000 or more depending on the centre.
You can also have bleaching done though I don't really advice this unless it is very necessary.
The effect of bleaching isn't permanent for life as the teeth will still get discoloured but one can always repeat the bleaching process (though not very often). Can you name one dental clinic around kola or ijaiye axis for this scaling thing |
