What causes teeth to become stained?
There are two primary types of stains that can impact the appearance of your teeth: extrinsic and intrinsic.
Extrinsic stains affect the outer layer of the tooth, known as the enamel, and are typically caused by substances like coffee, dark tea, red wine, and dark berries. These stains occur when pigments from these substances adhere to the teeth, resulting in a dull and discoloured look. The tiny pores in your teeth trap these stains, leading to an unsightly smile.
Intrinsic stains, on the other hand, are located within the tooth and can be caused by factors such as fluorosis or certain medications like tetracycline. Unlike extrinsic stains, traditional teeth whitening treatments may not effectively remove intrinsic stains. However, options such as dental bonding or veneers can be recommended to help conceal the discolouration and enhance the appearance of your smile.
