Yellow teeth with age

Question:

I am a man of 43 years old, and is the last few years, started to get yellow teeth. I don't smoke and drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day.

My wife has recommended me to buy a tandblegningssæt for 499 crowns. But I do not feel comfortable with the process myself.

What do you recommend I should do to get whiter teeth?

Answer:

Dear Peder

It is quite natural that the teeth become gulere with age. It may partly be due to the coffee, but it can easily be removed by the annual teeth cleaning at the dentist or the hygienist. I think it would be a good idea to get your teeth assessed by a dentist before they are bleached. Also seems that it is much better to get them bleached professionally, than to begin to experiment yourself.

Hope you can use my answer.

With kind regards
