Every modern person wants to have beautiful teeth, because a white smile has really become a part of modern culture. No matter who you are, no matter what you do, if you open your mouth to reveal a gorgeous white smile, you’re cool.

But sometimes our teeth lose their natural beauty and become yellow and unattractive. The fact is that our lifestyle affects the beauty of our teeth: smoking, coffee, tea, red wine and some eating habits make them less bright.

How can we restore the natural beauty and whiteness of our teeth?

This question has worried people for centuries. Even ancient Romans were trying to whiten their teeth with carbamide. During the Middle Ages barbers were whitening people’s teeth with an aqua fortis solution, which contained nitric acid. In old times people even tried to whiten their teeth with an iron grater. They tried different chemicals to remove the dark stains and to whiten the color of teeth, but most of those substances were caustic and dangerous and, though they made the teeth whiter, they also damaged the enamel.

In the beginning of the 1990s, laser teeth whitening methods were developed. This method became very popular in the late 1990s, and today lots of people undergo laser teeth whitening to obtain a beautiful, healthy smile.

Laser teeth whitening is done in the dentist’s office by a professional. This procedure can lighten your teeth by 5-10 tones. It is also thought to be the safest way to whiten your teeth, because it doesn’t damage the enamel. But remember that laser teeth whitening isn’t recommended for lactating women and children.

Laser teeth whitening procedures last for about an hour; the result is seen immediately and will last for a long time.

If you want your teeth to remain beautiful and healthy for many years, lead a healthy lifestyle, try not to smoke and reduce the quantity of coffee and tea that you drink.
