Teeth whitening and teeth bleaching, however, mean two different things in cosmetic dentistry. Surface cracks and stains occur on tooth enamel, exposing the yellower dentin below the surface.

Foods and beverages that are both dark colored and acidic – like wine, coffee, and tomato sauce – have even greater staining power.
