Teeth get pale with the excessive use of tea, coffee and smoking, consumption of tobacco. The color of them becomes pale or yellow and the entire brightness fades away. Even if the teeth are in good shape but they look ugly when you smile with pale or yellow ones. Tooth whitening is a process, which cleans the tarter from the teeth and makes them appear whiter and brighter.

With dentist it may require several sittings to give the right shade back to the teeth. But it can be tried at home too with several things available at a medical store. Whitening toothpaste is the most easily available and applied remedy for yellow teeth these days. When doing it under the observation of a dentist some chemicals are applied on the teeth, which are not advisable for sensitive teeth, or teeth, which have some filling on them.

Some tooth whitening kits are available in the market too which can be used at home but its anyways advisable to consult a dentist before trying any such thing on yourself. If the problem is not bad as if someone has light satins or pale teeth, one can try any of such methods but if the satins are really bad because of the consumption of tobacco, excessive smoking or drinking of tea and coffee, one should take the professional help with a dentist only. If you start cleaning your brush regularly and check your consumption of tea, coffee or cigarette, you might never need to pay heavy fees to the dentist for the cleaning of your teeth.
