What causes teeth to discolor?
Teeth naturally discolor with time and lifestyle habits. Factors that cause them to yellow include:
- Aging
- Certain medications
- Certain foods
- Smoking and other tobacco use
You may develop surface stains on the enamel of your teeth due to coffee, tea, or red wine consumption. These surface stains sink deeper, beneath the enamel of your tooth to the dentin, making the stain more difficult to remove. Only the latest professional teeth-whitening products can combat these deep stains. Over-the-counter pastes, gels, and strips are no match.
Some causes of tooth discoloration, like discoloration caused by trauma or the use of certain antibiotics, are not correctable with topical whitening procedures. In these cases, the dentists at Loudoun Family and Cosmetic Dentistry may recommend other cosmetic corrections such as veneers, bonding, or crowns to enhance your smile.
