I want a perfect smile?

I am only 16 and my teeth have yellow stains and are yellow. I think it was caused by the food that I eat because I brush my teeth thoroughly twice a day, everyday. I want to know if it is possible for me to have a perfect smile. What do I have to do? Will the dentist be able to help me brighten all my teeth? I want to have a smile like the celebrities. No rude or funny answers please.

I want a perfect smile?
These days it seems that everyone wants whiter teeth. With all of the bleaching products available from your dentist, drug store, and TV infomercials, it's getting easier all the time to have teeth like the movie stars.





But one thing most people don't realize is that it takes more than just a good whitening product to get those pearly whites to dazzle. First, you must have enough tooth enamel!





Huh? That's right, tooth enamel. As a dentist, I often had to explain this to my patients who had worn their enamel thin. The enamel is the hard, protective outer layer of your teeth. If you're genetically blessed, it's natural color is a very light ivory which we perceive as "white". If nature didn't give you the whitest enamel, or if you've smoked too many cigarettes, drank too many glasses of red wine or black coffee, or indulged in too many helpings of cherry pie in your lifetime, your teeth may not look as white as they once did. There are many more foods that can stain your teeth, but the point is, we're talking about stain here -- pigments in the enamel that can be chemically "bleached".





Tooth whitening products do a great job of removing stain and can even help people whose natural tooth color is on the grey or yellow side. But here's where whitening won't help, or not nearly as much: if your tooth enamel is thin. You see, the thinner the enamel on your teeth gets, the more the layer underneath it starts to show through it. That second layer, called dentin, is typically yellow in color -- even brownish in some cases. And teeth whitening products do a very poor job of whitening dentin.





So how does tooth enamel wear so thin that you can "see through it"? The most obvious answer is from brushing too hard, and/or with too abrasive a tooth paste (and too hard a brush). Picture the worst case scenario: you're a smoker with a compulsion towards keeping your teeth white and your breath fresh. So, you buy yourself the hardest bristle brush you can find, and stock up on an abrasive toothpaste formulated for smokers. Every chance you get, you're running to the bathroom to scrub that nicotine stain and odor away, and you figure the harder you scrub, the better!
Reply:Celebrities have veneers. You can get veneers as well, or just go to the dentist and bleach them.
Reply:Go for it!!!


Have your dentist first do bleaching and then have him evaluate for straightness (braces).


I think it's great that you want your smile to look perfect. Don't forget your home care to keep them in great shape!!
