Why Should I Whiten My Teeth?


Tooth enamel is designed to protect the teeth from the side effects of chewing or acid attacks caused by sugar. Eventually, due to some factors this enamel is worn down and the micro-cracks in them gradually get filled up with stains and debris. As a result, the tooth appears dull and starts losing lustre.

Teeth whitening are a best solution to remove these stains and debris, thus restoring your tooth colour.
