Stained teeth can leave you feeling self-conscious, hiding your smile instead of showing it off. Over time, certain foods, drinks and habits can cause those frustrating stains to build up. But you don’t have to live with it.
At Whitehills Dental Practice, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions that can restore your bright, confident smile, helping you feel like yourself again. Let us help you turn back time and bring back the sparkle in your smile!
What Causes Tooth Discolouration?
Many factors can cause your teeth to become dingy or discoloured. Here are some of them:
- Foods and drinks — Dark-coloured foods and beverages such as tea, red wine, coffee and soy sauce can penetrate your tooth enamel and cause stains.
- Tobacco — If you smoke or chew tobacco, it can stain your teeth.
- Poor oral hygiene — Plaque buildup can lead to tooth discolouration, so brushing and flossing regularly is essential.
- Medications — Certain medications, such as tetracycline, some high blood pressure drugs and certain antihistamines can discolour your teeth.
- Aging — Our tooth enamel wears away as we age, making our teeth look yellow.
- Trauma — Tooth trauma and nerve damage can cause a tooth to darken.
