Dirty teeth

[Keith G]

Hello

I had hygiene cleaning done two days ago and I have to say my teeth still look dirty even though they were supposedly fully cleaned by the hygienist. Is it the case that the hygienist did not spend enough time to clean these dirty teeth properly or is there something wrong with my teeth? I am worried, because I was in there with the hygienist for a half hour or so. Is it possible that my teeth are becoming more prone to discolouring as I am getting older. What can I do to make my teeth as white as they used to be? Thank you

I cant tell you if your teeth have been fully cleaned or not, as I was not present in that session. I am sure that the hygienist did her best. Please understand that hygienists can only clean teeth and remove extrinsic stains and plaque. If your teeth are discoloured and hygiene does not improve things, you may need teeth whitening.
