What Causes Tooth Staining?
- Genetics: This is a factor that we unfortunately cannot control, however we can use dental whitening a a way to make the appearance of genetically darker teeth appear brighter.
- Dental Hygiene: Poor hygiene can result in the buildup of tartar and plaque which in turn creates the appearance of darker stains on teeth.
- Tobacco: Use of tobacco products can deposit stains on teeth.
- Diet: Diet is one of the biggest contributing factors when it comes to staining teeth. Things like coffee and red wine are commonly known beverages which can cause staining. Other lesser known pigmented foods that stain teeth are things like blueberries, blackberries, cherries, etc.
- Enamel Wear: Last but not least, enamel wear can be a major contributor to tooth staining. When enamel is worn down, it often becomes more porous and trapps stains more easily. When enamel gets thinned down, it also exposes the inner layer of the tooth, also known as dentin, which is naturally more yellow than enamel.
