How to Whiten Blue Teeth

Blue teeth occur when the tooth enamel starts to decay and blue outlines appear around the border of people's teeth. When light reflects on the teeth, they have a bluish tint. Since blue teeth are caused by damage to tooth enamel, normal whitening solutions are not effective; however, there are various ways to whiten blue teeth. While permanent solutions such as dental bonding provide a solution, a non-permanent solution that builds tooth enamel is less expensive and more natural.
