I have had problems with my teeth for years since an infection. What can be done?

Q.
I have had problems with my teeth for years since an infection while pregnant. My teeth have never been really white but I’ve always been told I had a nice smile. I have veneers either side of my top two front teeth. I saw the dentist today and he said my teeth are an A2 and they are not brown and he did not think they needed whitening. Is A2 a white tooth. I just have a complex these days about my teeth as I feel I’ve lost a nice smile. Also, my daughter is disabled and I clean her teeth. They are clean but food seems to stick to them. What would you recommend I use as a toothpaste (she is 13). Thank you

What you need is to have your teeth altered to match the colour of your veneers. If you are still not happy about this, than the treatment you are looking at is teeth whitening treatment for your natural teeth to a shade you are happy with and then going on to have the veneers replaced to the accurate shade.
