    Hi can anyone tell me if my teeth would react well to whitening. I have very yellow teeth since I can remember . It's from living with my grandparents until I was in my early teens and wasn't enforced to brush my teeth so I didn't .not their fault. But I'm really paying the price now. If had a few extractions,plenty of fillings and a root canal. My problem now is cosmetic,I'm very paranoid over them and they are a few shades away from white. I have brown stains between some teeth,and also the top of my teeth the flat part has no covering? As in you can see brown in them . Dunno if that's explaining it properly. But does anyone think I can come back from this ? Would whitening help at all? All I want is a nice smile. Thanks for any help.

    It will make them brighter, will that be enough for you is the question…

    Start with an examination and a good cleaning then go from there….

    I dunno what I'm after ,just a white colour for my teeth and the brown gone. Here's a pic if that makes any difference for opinions.I do have an examination after Christmas just wondering what the outcome would be.

    Looks like tartar on the teeth which only a dentist can remove. I can't offer any opinions on whitening but a scale and polish will make a world of difference.
