Every since I was like 5 I have like a little yellow stain on the tip of my two front teeth. They got that way because of a medication I was on, when I was sick. Now I am 16 (17 in 1 month), I had braces a couple of years ago but I still have those two little yellow stains on the tip of my two front teeth. I have tried the crest strips, and all those other O.T.C teeth whitening products, and none have worked. Therefore I want to get them professionally done. I have heard of procedures like Zoom Whitening, but is there anyway, I can just get those two teeth whitened, cheaper than Zoom. What other procedures can be done other than Zoom?
--------------------
No whitening product will "whiten" these spots, as they are areas of super-rich calcium deposits that happened as a result of the tetracycline or other antibiotic when you were young. However, they can be very much toned down, if not eliminated by a procedure called "Spot removal" where the dentist uses a mixture of pumice (very fine sand) and chemical and buffs and polishes the spots with a high speed brush ion a dental motor until they more match the color of the rest of the teeth. Since the chemical is quite strong, the dentist must protect your gums, face, and eyes. If done properly the procedure is quite safe.
