Was my teeth whitening deal too good to be true?

My dental bonding is ruined! Now what…
My dental bonding has been ruined by an at-home teeth whitening kit. In hindsight, I shouldn’t have taken advantage of the free teeth whitening kit. But, it was too tempting not to try it. I had no idea my dental bonding would look so terrible. I followed the directions on the box and thought I […]

Why won’t teeth whitening strips work on my discolored tooth?
I have an annoying discolored tooth that shows when I smile. I admit, I’m a smoker (which won’t change) and I do drink a lot of coffee. I thought the tooth whitening strips would take care of it. But they are not working. In fact, it seem as if the tooth is actually looking darker. […]
