COMMON CAUSES AND TREATMENTS

Stained and Discolored Teeth

Over time, teeth can lose brightness due to coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, aging, medications, or poor oral hygiene. Stained teeth treatment, discolored teeth treatment, and professional teeth whitening can help restore a brighter smile, while regular cleanings and daily care help prevent new stains.

UNDERSTANDING TOOTH STAINS

Types and Causes of Tooth Stains

  • Surface Stains: Caused by foods, drinks, or habits that affect enamel, such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and tobacco use. These may require dental stain removal or remove tooth stains care.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque and tartar buildup, causing surface discoloration and the need for stained enamel treatment.
  • Medication: Antibiotics like tetracycline taken in childhood can cause deep teeth stains that may need professional whitening options or veneers.
  • Trauma or Injury: Tooth damage can trigger extra dentin formation, causing tooth discoloration or darker colour changes.
  • Aging: Enamel wears down over time, exposing yellowish dentin beneath and making teeth appear darker, sometimes requiring yellow teeth treatment.
