Does Laser Teeth Whitening Damage Your Enamel?

• When you are around people you smile and laugh.
  Today, people are so concerned about their
  stained teeth. Everyone wants to have a sparkling
  bright smile to look clean and fresh, however,
  not everyone has whiter teeth. In a report, the
  American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry asked some
  people what they would like to change about their
  smile, and most of the people responded with
  whiter teeth. Henceforth, people today go for
  laser teeth whitening, led teeth whitening, or
  at-home treatments to get rid of stained teeth.
• Tooth stains can be caused by some particular
  food and beverages that you take daily. For
  example, cold drinks, soft drinks, coffee, or
  tea. Aging can also be one of the reasons why you
  have stained teeth. Smoking and alcohol
  consumption can also affect the increase of tooth
  stains. Insufficient brushing or cleaning of the
  mouth can also lead to tooth discoloration.
