My wife and I have been trying a few different products to whiten our teeth. Most of the ones we have tried have only resulted in our gums hurting like crazy! We’ve spoken to our dentist about our desire to have whiter teeth, and he just “pooh-poohs” us. He says that everybodys teeth yellow with age. He also says that people with thick enamel (which is good for teeth) have yellower teeth than those people who have thin enamel (which is bad for teeth.) He says that really white teeth really is not a good sign of dental health! Well, we took comfort in that information for a while, but it still bothers my wife that when she smiles in the mirror her teeth look yellow.
I just found out about a process in cosmetic dentistry called dental veneers. Dental veneers have been around for twenty years, but I just heard about them for the first time today. I ran into the wife of an old friend of mine at the local coffee shop and she was telling me about how she was looking into having it done. She explained that it is painless and permanent and safe. So my wife and I are going to look into it too!
