Should I Brush Harder For A Whiter Smile?
You might wonder if your smile is looking discolored because you’re simply not brushing hard enough. First, recognize that the force you put into your brushing is not going to affect the shade of your teeth. Instead, discoloration comes from staining that takes place over the course of an extended period of time, while pigmented molecules penetrate tooth tissue. Unfortunately, your brushing can’t reach deep into your teeth to remove stains (so even if you brush hard or use special toothpastes, it won’t work). What will work?
