Dear Dr. Dave & Dr. Dee, My officemate came back from a one week vacation with the whitest bright teeth. I know that she probably had her teeth bleached by the dentist to get her teeth so white so quickly. But, her teeth are the focal point of her face now. Aren't overly white teeth just a bit too much? How white is too white for teeth? Signed, Tacky Teeth Dear Tacky Teeth, White teeth are attractive, but if the teeth overwhelm the face by their whiteness, then the teeth probably have been over-bleached. Generally, the whiteness of the teeth should compliment the face, look natural, and be about the same shade as the whites of the eyes. The desired shade of white for teeth is a personal decision. Celebrities have very white teeth and many people wish to achieve that look. However, what appears fine in magazines, on television, or in movies can look exaggerated in person. For more information on teeth whitening, see the ADA (American Dental Association) link at www.ada.org for their Statement on the Safety and Effectiveness of Tooth Whitening Products. |
