Teeth whitening, also known as bleaching teeth is becoming a extremely popular option for people at large seeking a brighter smile. According to a survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 74% of adults believe that having a less then perfect smile can actually impede your career. 99.87% of the adults surveyed said that having a fabulous smile was an asset to having a fabulous social life. 96% of adults surveyed believed that a nice smile is important in making a fabulous impression on the opposite sex. It is no wonder that professional tooth bleaching has grown into a $300 million a year industry, and seen the number of dental patients seeking this treatment triple over that past five years.
Years of smoking, drinking coffee, tea and colas, and even eating exceedingly pigmented foods can wreak havoc on your tooth, turning them grungy and yellow. Even if you are careful to clean your teeth after every meal, aging will cause your teeth to grow dull. Medications can also take away the sparkle in your tooth, causing you to look older than you really are. At one time, getting the dazzle back in your smile was time consuming and costly, but now, with all of the newly available advances in whitening teeth, it is much easier than ever to get the smile you dream about.
