So are tobacco (tar and nicotine), aging, and certain medications (some antihistamines, antipsychotics and high blood pressure). <\/li>\n<li><b>How does teeth whitening work?<\/b> Whitening products contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, two tooth bleaches. They break stains into smaller pieces, making the color less concentrated and the teeth brighter and whiter. <\/li>\n<li><b>Does whitening work on all teeth?<\/b> No. Bleach works well on yellow teeth, but not as much on brown teeth. And gray tones may not bleach at all. Whitening doesn&#8217;t work on caps, veneers, crowns and fillings. <\/li>\n<li><b>Three ways to put a shine back in your smile:<\/b>\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li><b>Whitening Toothpastes:<\/b> Western Dental recommends Opalesence as a safe toothpaste that has polishing agents to provide additional stain removal effectiveness. <\/li>\n<li><b>In-Office Bleaching:<\/b> Chairside appointments usually require only one office visit at Western Dental. A dentist will apply either a protective gel to the gums or a rubber shield to protect the gums. Bleach is then applied to the teeth. A special light or laser might be used to enhance the action of the whitening agent. <\/li>\n<li><b>At-Home Whitening Kits:<\/b> Western Dental suggests using kits that include 10 upper and lower whitening trays with a 10-percent hydrogen peroxide gel solution that are applied to each arch for an hour a day, whitening teeth up to six shades lighter. Over-the-counter whitening strips are available, but the results are not as dramatic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more dental health tips, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westerndental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.westerndental.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>ABOUT WESTERN DENTAL<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Western Dental (with its affiliate Brident Dental &amp; Orthodontics) is one of the nation&#8217;s largest dental providers and is the leader in accessible, affordable, high-quality oral health care, with over 2 million patient visits annually in more than 200 affiliated offices throughout <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Arizona<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Nevada<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>.
