Stained teeth can cause embarrassment and a lack of self-esteem. Tooth Whitening is a bleaching process that safely removes the discolorations of tooth enamel.
What Causes Tooth Staining?
Starting color: Each person has an inborn tooth color that ranges from yellow-brownish to greenish-grey, and intensifies over time
Eating Habits: The habitual consumption of coffee, tea, wine, cola, carrots, oranges and other deeply-colored beverages and foods causes staining over the years.
Smoking Habits: Nicotine will be slowly soak into the tooth structure and cause discoloration.
Drugs / chemicals: Tetracycline usage produces dark grey or brown ribbon stains which are very difficult to remove
Age: Over the years, teeth darken due to wear and tear and stain accumulation. For the age of twenties, the teeth may begin to show a yellow cast, teeth-bleaching may require a little more effort.
By around forties, yellow teeth may start turning to a brownish tone and more maintenance may be called for. By the fifties, the teeth have absorbed a host of stubborn stains which can often be difficult to remove.
Grinding: Teeth grinding due to gnashing, stress or other reasons can add to micro-cracking in the teeth and can cause the biting edges to darken.
Trauma: Falls and other injuries can produce sizable cracks in the teeth, which collect large amounts of stains and debris.
Tooth Discoloration: There are Two Types of Tooth Stains.
Extrinsic stains appear on the surface of teeth due to exposure to dark-colored beverages, foods and tobacco, and routine wear and tear. This can be removed with brushing and prophylactic dental cleaning.
Intrinsic stains form on the interior of teeth. Intrinsic stains result from trauma, aging, exposure to minerals/drugs/chemicals during tooth formation and/or excessive ingestion of fluoride.This can be removed with supervised take-home teeth bleaching.
