Teeth whitening
When i was a child, I would never brush the front teeth properly. As a result, the front teeth are yellow. Now that I have become conscious, I brush my teeth properly everyday. But the yellow colour is still there. Additional info: I have NEVER had any other issue with my teeth, no tooth cavities. I know i will have to consult a dentist.
My questions: 1. What are some of the permanent whitening techniques that I can go for?
2. Is it possible for me to get 4 to 5 shades whiter teeth at least after whitening?
3. Could you PLEASE SUGGEST a name of a particular whitening toothpaste that would help get at least 2 shades whiter teeth.
