Tooth whitening is often chosen by people of all ages – but it gives a younger-looking appearance, according to one expert.
As people get older, their teeth can start to darken due to years of drinking tea and coffee, fluoride exposure and tobacco, advised Andrea Markowitz for Health Key.
However, visiting the dentist to find out whether teeth whitening is a suitable option can roll back the years and avoid them looking "downright dull".
"If you’re a candidate for teeth whitening your dentist can tell you how much whitening you can expect and help you choose the best technique for your teeth – and wallet," Ms Markowitz explained.
Veneers or crowns may also be considerations, depending on how much money is available for the chosen procedure.
Of course, cutting back on drinks and smoking are some of the first things people worried about their dental health can do. Check-ups every six months as well as flossing and brushing twice a day are also crucial.
