I want to whiten my teeth but I have fillings on the front of my teeth AND I have white spots.

Asked By:katkit0598 in Baton Rouge, LA

What is my best course of action?My teeth have been looking increasingly yellow lately and it is really starting to bother me. I would love to go in and get some kind of whitening treatment done, but there are 2 issues. 1) I have fillings on the fronts of some of my teeth, which I assume would not whiten 2) I have white spots near my gums on my front teeth as a result of wearing braces and not brushing those areas well enough. With these two issues in mind, whats my best option for whiter teeth!
