My Teeth Are Black At The Back And I Haven’t Seen A Dentist For Nearly 20 Years. Is There Anything That Can Be Done To Get Them Back To White?

Q.
Hi Mark. I haven’t seen a dentist for nearly 20 years, my teeth are very discoloured and the bottom ones are black at the back. I’ve recently given up smoking but like a coffee and red wine. I don’t suffer from any toothache, although my teeth are very sensitive. Is there anything that can be done to get my teeth back to white or am I looking at having them removed and having dentures? I am 41 years old and this is really depressing me now, I would do whatever it takes to get a nice smile back and regain some confidence.
A.
My first piece of advice is for you to go and see a dentist and have your dental health fully assessed. If it has been 20 years then there is a likelihood that you have some issues that need to be addressed. Once your mouth is healthy and there are no complications to having whitening treatment, then you could try that treatment first to see what kind of result you get. Professional whitening provided by an experienced cosmetic dentist will give you the best results. Removing your teeth would only be a last resort if you had some severe gum disease or tooth decay.

Kind regards, Mark.
