Teeth whitening is a popular dental procedure used to effectively address and correct the discoloration that occurs on teeth due to the presence of brown and yellow stains.
The term “teeth whitening” encompasses a diverse range of techniques and procedures that are specifically designed to enhance the whiteness and brightness of an individual’s teeth, ultimately improving their overall smile aesthetics.
One common cause of tooth staining is the consumption of certain foods and drinks.
Beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sodas contain pigmented compounds called chromogens that can adhere to the tooth enamel and cause discoloration over time.
Similarly, foods with strong colorants, such as berries and sauces, can contribute to tooth stains. Tobacco use, whether in the form of smoking or chewing, is another significant factor that can lead to yellowing or darkening of teeth.

Among the most common, irritating and difficult to diagnose problems with head and neck pain are temporal mandibular joint problems, more commonly known as TMJ problems. The joint is located near the ear where the top of the mandible or lower jaw meets the upper jaw at the base of the skull.
Like all other joints in the body, the TMJ is subject to inflammation and other chronic joint problems. Many of these issues may be caused by destructive bite habits like clenching or grinding. These actions cause pressure on the joint that can lead to inflammation and general breakdown of the joint itself.
What makes TMJ problems difficult to diagnose and treat properly is the fact that the symptoms vary widely in both location and severity. Symptoms can range from a slight clicking in the jaw with no pain to severe head and neck pain which is not relieved by medication.
Once diagnosed properly treatments include everything from simple placement of a nightguard, which prevents pressure on the joint to surgical intervention in more severe cases. A dental health professional is the person most able to diagnose this widely variable and very common issue.
