Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Tooth Discolouration

Many factors influence the colour of your teeth. Some of these factors include the translucence of your enamel layer and the size of your teeth. Big teeth have more of the dark dentin layer, thus making them look darker. Also the darkness of your dentin can affect teeth colour. Also, there is tooth discolouration that occurs after your enamel gets stained by external factors apart from the natural state of your teeth.

Certain drinks and foods can lead to teeth discolouration, also , teeth staining can be a result of several biological factors such as the translucence of your enamel layer. Teeth stains have many causes- many of which could have been prevented and some of which are beyond control. Drinks such as coffee, wine, tea, and colas could lead to teeth stains. Also, smoking or chewing tobacco, poor dental hygiene, medications such as antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline, advanced age, genetics, trauma, and certain dental materials, especially silver sulfide-containing materials, are known to cause teeth stains. Identifying the cause is crucial in determining the appropriate treatment approach.

One can prevent teeth discolouration by making a few lifestyle changes. For instance, if you are a smoker or a heavy coffee drinker, you can consider quitting or cutting back on consumption. Additionally, you can improve your oral hygiene by flossing once a day, brushing at least twice a day and rinsing your mouth often. Also, visit the dentist to get your teeth professionally cleaned every six months.

Treatment options for tooth discoloration include professional teeth whitening, dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and in some cases, dental crowns. The choice of treatment depends on the extent of discoloration, the underlying causes, and the desired outcome.

The timeline for achieving desired results with teeth whitening treatments can vary. In-office professional teeth whitening treatments can often provide noticeable results in a single session, while at-home whitening kits may require several weeks of consistent use to achieve the desired outcome.

After undergoing tooth discoloration treatment, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene practices, limit consumption of staining substances, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings. Following these preventive measures can prolong the results of the treatment .

What is tooth discoloration?

Tooth discoloration refers to the staining or darkening of your teeth. You can develop discolored teeth for a number of reasons. Some causes are unavoidable — like aging, trauma or disease. Other causes are preventable — like smoking and poor oral hygiene.

Types of tooth discoloration

There are two main types of tooth discoloration:

Extrinsic discoloration: This type of discoloration affects the outer surface of your teeth (enamel). Exposure to certain environmental factors — like some foods and beverages — causes extrinsically discolored teeth.

Intrinsic discoloration: This type of discoloration starts inside your tooth and affects your dentin (the layer underneath your enamel). Causes include dental trauma and certain medications.

Possible Causes
What are the most common causes of discolored teeth?

Several things can cause discolored teeth. Some causes are avoidable. Others are unavoidable. Avoidable tooth discoloration causes include:

  • Dark-colored foods and beverages. Things like coffee, tea, berries, red wine and soy sauce can stain your teeth over time.
  • Smoking and other tobacco use. Research indicates that tooth discoloration is more common among people who smoke compared to people who don’t.
  • Poor oral hygiene. Stains cling to dental plaque. If you don’t remove plaque with regular brushing and flossing, you’re more likely to develop discolored teeth.
  • Excessive fluoride. In appropriate quantities, fluoride is an excellent way to protect your teeth from cavities. However, people who consume high levels of fluoride during childhood may develop fluorosis — a condition that results in white spots on your tooth enamel.

Unavoidable tooth discoloration causes include:
  • Genetics. Natural tooth color, brightness and translucency vary from person to person.
  • Dental trauma. Falls, car crashes and sports-related injuries can cause trauma that results in tooth discoloration.
  • Aging. As you grow older, your tooth enamel wears thinner. This exposes more of the underlying dentin, which has a yellowish hue. As a result, your teeth may appear slightly more discolored as you age.
  • Dental treatments. Some dental materials — like silver amalgam used in metal fillings — can make your teeth appear grayish in color. Root canal therapy can also cause tooth discoloration in some instances.
  • Certain diseases. Some health conditions cause teeth discoloration, including liver disease, celiac disease, calcium deficiency, eating disorders and metabolic diseases.
  • Certain medications. Some medications, like certain antihistamines and drugs for high blood pressure, can result in teeth discoloration. In addition, adults who took tetracycline or doxycycline (both antibiotics) during childhood may have tooth discoloration.
  • Cancer treatments. Chemotherapy or head and neck radiation therapy can cause tooth discoloration.

Different color meanings
Sometimes the color of tooth stains can pinpoint the culprit:
  • Yellow stains are usually due to eating and drinking dark-colored foods or beverages. It may also mean that you need to improve your oral hygiene.
  • Brown teeth discoloration is a result of smoking or using chewing tobacco. If you have brown stains and pitting (small holes) in your teeth, it probably means you have untreated tooth decay.
  • Purple teeth stains usually affect people who consume a lot of red wine.
  • Gray tooth discoloration may mean that the nerve inside your tooth has died. Dental trauma can cause this.
  • White flecks on your teeth may indicate dental fluorosis. This means you consumed high levels of fluoride during childhood, when your teeth were developing.
  • Black spots on your teeth typically indicate areas of severe decay.
Care and Treatment

Dentists use different tooth discoloration treatments depending on the underlying cause and whether the stains affect the outer or inner layers of your teeth. The total cost depends on what treatments you need to undergo for your discoloured teeth.

At Dentzania, we provide world class treatments, using cutting edge technology with affordable pricing.

How do dentists treat discolored teeth?
1. Teeth whitening

Dentists may offer in-office or at-home professional teeth whitening treatments. These methods use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break up stains and lift them from your teeth. Professional whitening works best on surface (extrinsic) stains. But some whitening products can remove deep dental (intrinsic) stains, too.

In-office bleaching takes about one hour to complete. Most take-home whitening treatments require 30- to 60 minute daily treatments for up to six weeks. There are pros and cons to each. Ask your dentist which option is right for you.

2. Dental bonding

If you have deep tooth discoloration that doesn’t improve with whitening, your dentist may recommend dental bonding. This procedure involves applying tooth-colored composite resin to conceal discolored teeth.

Bonding is much more affordable compared to other options (like porcelain veneers), but you’ll probably need touch-ups every five to seven years. Dental bonding might not be the best option if you have several discolored teeth.

3. Porcelain veneers

If you have widespread tooth discoloration that doesn’t improve with whitening, you may want to consider porcelain veneers. These tooth-colored ceramic shells are thin, yet strong. A dentist permanently bonds (glues) them to the front surfaces of your teeth to camouflage discoloration or other cosmetic flaws like chipping or misshapen teeth.

A dentist has to replace porcelain veneers every five to 15 years. Veneers aren’t reversible.

4. Dental crowns

Sometimes tooth discoloration is a symptom of cavities. If you have weakened or decayed teeth in addition to discoloration, your dentist may recommend dental crowns.

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your tooth, protecting it from further damage. Dental crowns help improve the health and function of your teeth as well as their appearance.

Treatment of teeth discolouration gives you a healthy, confident smile. At Dentzania we make sure you get the smile you always wanted ! Come, experience the joy of a whiter, healthier and beautiful smile with us.
