Teeth-Staining – The In and Outs of this Daily Life Annoyance

1-5-1200x503.jpg

You’ve probably seen advertising for at-home teeth whitening, or you’ve come across a new teeth whitening product while reading through Facebook or Instagram. You may have even heard of teeth whitening procedures offered by your dentist. You’ve most likely noticed that your teeth aren’t as white as you’d like them to be. 

You probably know how to “cure” it, but do you know what causes tooth discoloration and how to avoid it?

Food, beverages, smoking, stain-causing substances within the dental enamel and even aging are all causes of tooth discoloration.

When it relates to discolored teeth, prevention is rather simple. Avoid staining foods and drinks, quit smoking, and maintain proper dental hygiene practices like brushing twice daily, washing with mouthwash and flossing every day, eating sugar-free gum after meals, and visiting your dental professional at least twice annually.

Bright or boldly colored foods are the most likely to discolor your teeth. Red pasta sauces, berries like blueberries and raspberries, and colorful curries may all stain your teeth.

Drinks with bright colors, like meals, are more prone to discolor teeth. Red wines, coffee and tea, and perhaps even dark sodas should be avoided. Consumption daily might darken your grin.

Teas of all hues, including white and green teas, have been found to erode enamel and discolor teeth, according to Colgate.com.

Activated charcoal has been popular due to its natural qualities for eliminating toxins and odors, which have seen it appear in everything from facial treatments to soaps to toothpaste. What are our thoughts on charcoal toothpaste? It’s not worth the terrible side effects, and there’s no proof that it helps.

If you believe your teeth might be whiter, chat to us if the procedure is recommended or not. Your teeth’s health, as well as the source of the discoloration, will assist us to decide your best alternatives.

To ensure that your teeth are clear of decay, the optimum time to begin teeth whitening is after a dental cleaning. Furthermore, tooth whitening procedures are not permanent. You may require more treatments in the future, or you may opt to minimize the source of your discoloration to extend the whitening results and avoid stains.
