Tooth Whitening is a Simple and Effective
Solution

• How important is smiling to our everyday life? If
  youre of the impression that its simply
  something that you do when you watch a hilarious
  YouTube video featuring some cute cats, or
  something that you strain out when a work
  colleague tells a not-so-hilarious joke, then you
  need to think again. Smiling has been
  scientifically proven to, among other things,
  improve our mood when were feeling depressed,
  contagiously lighten up a room and boost our
  immune system. With so many advantages to
  smiling, one may wonder why there are so many
  glum faces in the world?Studies have shown that
  one of the main reasons why a lot of people
  refuse to bear a grin when they feel it may be
  appropriate, is because they have discoloured
  teeth. Though they may not realise to begin with,
  this is in fact brought on by either a poor diet
  or infrequent teeth brushing. What happens over
  time is the outer layer of the tooth, known as
  enamel, becomes tainted by sugary foods and fizzy
  drink and, when not regularly or properly
  cleaned, begins to turn a shade of yellow or
  brown.

• Another potential culprit for tooth
  discolouration is smoking because of the
  addiction that comes with it, smoking is often
  one of the main contributors to discoloured
  teeth. In a similar way to what happens when
  teeth can become discoloured by food and drink, a
  yellow, brown, dark brown or even black stain can
  begin to develop on the enamel of the teeth,
  mainly because smoking prevents the flow of
  saliva in the mouth and tar builds up. What this
  then triggers is the smoker to develop a smile
  that theyre unhappy with, or that they feel is
  socially unacceptable.Often a lot of people
  will attempt to tackle the problem themselves and
  try their best to avoid sugary foods, sugary
  drinks, coffee, tea, wine and tobacco, unaware
  that even foods such as blueberries can have the
  same effect that a glass of red wine can. There
  is a solution, however, and though the option of
  tooth whitening is often discarded as something
  thats practiced in Hollywood, its actually more
  popular than people realise. Treatment for teeth
  whitening is widely available both on the
  internet and in dental practices, and is
  recommended by a large proportion of
  dentists.Treatment for Teeth Whitening is a
  simple and effective solution, and everyone wants
  to lead a happier life, so why not begin with a
  smile that youre happy with?
