Why Are My Teeth Discolored?
Teeth staining or discoloration can happen for many reasons, including from smoking, drinking coffee or tea, or eating certain types of food. As a result, bacteria known as plaque builds up on your teeth. This unfortunately combines with sugars, developing acids that take all the good minerals from your teeth. When you strip those minerals, it shifts the way the surface of your teeth look in light. Plaque has the potential to solidify into tartar, a hardened deposit that can accumulate within a mere 24 hours if left unchecked by brushing. Tartar has the knack for staining teeth with unsightly yellow or brown discoloration, and it can impede the removal of fresh plaque. Once tartar has established itself, only a dental specialist such as Dr. Horton can effectively eliminate it.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening At Horton Orthodontics?
We understand you may find it easier to run out to your local pharmacy and try one of the many over-the-counter whitening products that are available right now. But a recent report by the American Dental Association says sometimes they are too abrasive and can actually damage your teeth if you use the products too often or incorrectly. Instead, they recommend visiting a dental professional like Dr. Horton to ensure you are getting the best and safe treatment.
