6 Things You Can Do at Home to Whiten Your Teeth and Brighten Your Smile
In the grueling race against time and gravity (and their effects on our appearances), we often don't look past wrinkles, age spots and sagging. But according to Jonathan Levine, DMD, dentist, prosthodontist and founder of at-home teeth-whitening device Glo Science, our teeth are in fact one of the first few areas that give away our age. "Most people think anti-aging only refers to skin-firming creams, facelifts and covering up gray strands," he says. "But the truth is that the mouth (the teeth, in particular) is one of the areas where the effects of aging are most noticed. Over time the enamel wears down, teeth turn yellow, crack, become shorter and acquire blunt edges, which can impact a person’s overall appearance."
No wonder teeth bleaching remains one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available today. According to the most recent state of the industry report published by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, requests for teeth whitening services continue to rise year over year, making it one of the top procedures offered by cosmetic dentists, along with crowns, bonding and veneers.
