Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration.
Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration.
– Tobacco use. Smoking or chewing tobacco can stain teeth.
– Poor dental hygiene. Inadequate brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash to remove plaque and stain-producing substances like coffee and tobacco can cause tooth discoloration.
– Disease. Several diseases that affect enamel (the hard surface of the teeth) and dentin (the underlying material under enamel) can lead to tooth discoloration.
– Medications. The antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline are known to discolor teeth when given to children whose teeth are still developing (before age 8).
– Dental materials. Some of the materials used in dentistry, such as amalgam restorations, especially silver sulfide-containing materials, can cast a gray-black color to teeth.
– Advancing age. As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets worn away, revealing the natural yellow color of dentin.
– Genetics. Some people have naturally brighter or thicker enamel than others.
– Environment. Excessive fluoride either from environmental sources (naturally high fluoride levels in water) or from excessive use (fluoride applications, rinses, toothpaste, and fluoride supplements taken by mouth) can cause teeth discoloration.
– Vital Whitening is most common type of vital tooth whitening uses a gel that is applied directly to the tooth surface
and a specialized light or laser activates the gel and allows bleaching to happen faster.

the appearance of a tooth that has had root-canal treatment because the stain is coming from the inside of the tooth. A whitening agent inside the tooth and put a temporary filling over it.
