Wondering about the causes of stained teeth?

Discoloration is common, stemming from various factors. Intrinsic stains result from internal factors within the body or tooth structure, while extrinsic stains are caused by external factors often tied to lifestyle. Common reasons for stained teeth include:

Poor dental care: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup and staining.
Certain foods and drinks: Items like red wine, coffee, berries, and sauces can worsen teeth stains.
Smoking: Tobacco use is a significant contributor to discolored teeth.
Aging: Daily wear weakens enamel over time, making teeth more prone to staining.
Disease: Conditions like diabetes and eating disorders can impact tooth strength and appearance.
Medications: Some common medications, such as antibiotics, can contribute to tooth discoloration.

Whether your stained teeth result from intrinsic or extrinsic factors (or a combination of both), we can collaborate with you to provide effective treatment for stain removal and a brighter smile.
