It is very important to visit your dentist at least once every six months to check the condition of your teeth.

It should be noted that teeth whitening procedures can be avoided if you know the reasons for the yellowing.

  1. External. Yellow plaque appears on the enamel due to a certain lifestyle - smoking, frequent consumption of coffee, cola, tea and red wine. It is important to brush your teeth and perform professional prevention.
  2. Internal. They start inside the tooth and first affect the layer under the enamel. The disease can also start due to a tooth injury.
