Children who are given the antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline can often grow with yellowish discoloured teeth if they are still developing. There are also some forms of antipsychotic medication that are also common causes. As we get into our teens and early twenties then the discoloration problem seems to step-up a level as we start dating because we pay more attention to our looks. All of a sudden it becomes a personal matter and something that needs to be cured as soon as possible. This has been produced more apparent with the spread of American culture worldwide, where an especially white smile is coined a "Hollywood smile". Whitening strips are very popular and many people prefer this choice as opposed to the more messy use of trays and gel. The strips are just clear film that comes in small packets so they can be conveniently carried around in your bag or pocket. Jut peel off the film and attach to the teeth and leave it there for around 20-minutes. You can repeat the process as often as you like until you have the perfect shade. Recently, efforts have been produced to accelerate the bleaching process by the use of light. While this method does have a reasonably high success rate I would suggest it is not as affective as using the home bleaching method.

Dentistry News: In most countries, to become a qualified dentist you must usually complete at least 8 years of study; an undergraduate degree at the university level and 4 years doctoral training. Later research in the same area found evidence of teeth having been drilled, dating back 9,000 years.
