Why Do my Teeth Only Look White when in the Dentist's Chair?

1Tracy1
It has to be the light. I am going to do the KoR Deep Bleach, but with another dentist who does it. The dentist always tells me how white they are. It's the light that makes them look white. I DO NOT HAVE WHITE TEETH! I have looked at them in the mirror while the dentist's light was shining on them and they do look really white. I have been taken outside with the dentist and they looked lighter than usual, but 99.9% of the time they don't.What is the cause of this?Will KoR work for this issue?
