If you teeth are stained or gapped, you may find yourself trying to hid your mouth when you smile, destroying your confidence and giving the impression that you are shy when you may not be.

Teeth can be stained over time by what we eat and drink, as well as smoking. Tea, coffee, blueberries and curry are some of drinks and foods we consume that can cause our teeth to be discoloured over time. Taking iron supplements and the accumulation of plaque and tartar on our teeth can cause the same problem.
For teeth that are discoloured by external causes, regular cleaning of your teeth can health, but bleaching your teeth or using whitening substances, like whitening toothpaste or whitening strips can help to remove surface stains. There are over the counter products you can buy, but your dentist can treat your teeth with a whitening agent that can help lift stains and whiten your teeth up to eight shades lighter.
Discolouration can also be caused by internal problems, beneath the surface enamel of teeth. Teeth that start turning yellow can be a symptom of aging, but it can also be a signexcessive fluoride intake, some antibiotics can cause the teeth to become discoloured or injury to a tooth can cause internal discolouring as well. Bleaching or whitening teeth will not help with internal discolouration.
Your dentist can apply veneers to your teeth to help them look better if they are discoloured, gapped or misshaped. Veneers, or facings, are generally affixed to the front teeth to give them a better appearance. Though veneers are not as strong as crowns, they are not as expensive either.
