Teeth Whitening In Lichfield
Teeth whitening is very much a cosmetic treatment that is geared towards improving the overall aesthetics of your smile. When you first meet people it can be quite hard to not notice their teeth, whether they look nice or not very nice. Teeth can easily draw your attention to them, as well as eyes can.
Its quite common for people to be self conscious of their teeth and they may even shy away from people due to their insecurities. One of the most common complaints we hear in surgery is a patient is not happy with the colour of their teeth. Teeth are not a naturally white colour and depending on your lifestyle (e.g. what you drink and eat, smoking etc), they may appear more discoloured than other peoples teeth. As we age it is a natural occurrence for teeth to discolour and the rate at this happens will vary from person to person.
