The years of training and experience that he and his team have accrued can help advise you on the best method for removing dental stains without adversely affecting your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been struggling with minor dental stains on the surfaces of your teeth Dr. Alex Abernathy might suggest that you try to periodically brush your teeth with whitening toothpaste. Most use a mild concentration of hydrogen peroxide as the active whitening agent. Just be sure to always look for the American Dental Association\u2019s Seal of Acceptance to make sure it has been approved for safe oral use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more significant dental stains on the teeth that appear in your smile, Dr. Alex Abernathy might recommend that he administer a dental bleaching treatment. Once the dental stains have been cleared away you can maintain your smile\u2019s appearance by occasionally brushing with whitening toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in the Jackson, Mississippi, area and you need help with dental stains on your teeth, you should call 601-981-8166 to schedule a whitening consultation at Lakeland Dental Care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cosmetic imperfections like discolored tooth enamel and chronic dental stains that appear on the teeth in your smile can hamper your self-image.
