However there are certain lifestyle factors that make things worse. Smoking and certain medications are known to discolour teeth. Particular foods and drinks can also leave behind stains \u2013 tea, coffee and wine are common culprits behind stained teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A simple solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teeth whitening is a temporary but effective way to remove certain stains and reduce discolouration of your teeth. At our friendly dental practice we use the Enlighten home tooth whitening system. Custom-made mouth trays are designed specifically to fit snugly over your teeth. A whitening gel is then applied into these trays. The gel contains a clinically safe amount of bleaching agent that will get to work on your teeth.Wearing your personal set of gel-filled trays for a few hours every day will bring you results within 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>While over-the-counter teeth whitening systems are available, you risk damage to your teeth and increased sensitivity. It is always best to undergo teeth whitening treatment under the care of a dental professional. With the Enlighten system and the experience of our highly trained dentists, you can avoid these pitfalls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keeping up your new look<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguildforddentist.com\/teeth-whitening-guildford.html\">teeth whitening<\/a> treatment is a temporary fix, you can prolong its effects by wearing your gel-filled trays for one or two nights every 3 or 4 months.
