Are my teeth too dark?

The reality is that often our teeth were once brighter than they are now. Then there are those colleagues at work with the sometimes remarkably white teeth that also give us pause for thought. And so the question arises: are my teeth really too dark? Is there any way to brighten my teeth, to go back to my original ‘youthful’ tooth colour?
