What causes tooth discolouration or staining?
Your tooth colour is determined by your lifestyle, nutrition, habits, and dental hygiene routines. Causes of tooth discolouration are divided into two categories:
- Extrinsic Discolouration: Extrinsic stains are superficial stains on the tooth surface that accumulate over time. Consumption of dark-coloured foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, soda, blackberries, and curry causes them. Smoking or chewing tobacco also causes extrinsic tooth discolouration over time.
- Intrinsic Discolouration: Deeper stains on the inner layer of teeth or dentine are known as intrinsic tooth stains. These stains are more challenging to get rid of than extrinsic discolouration. Excessive fluoride use may cause discolouration or leave white streaks on your teeth. Certain medications, like antihistamines, tetracycline, antipsychotics, and high blood pressure medications, are also common causes of intrinsic discolouration.
Other causes of intrinsic discolouration are:- Genetics: The colour of one’s teeth and the structure of one’s enamel differs from one person to the next, affecting tooth colour. Teeth that are thicker or have darker enamel are also present in certain people at birth.
- Cancer treatments: Chemotherapy and radiation are two cancer therapies that can cause tooth discolouration.
- Aging: The outer layer of enamel wears down gradually as people age, resulting in tooth discolouration and yellowing.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth stains can be caused by coloured food or drink, especially with red wine and coffee. We can reverse these stains with the oxygen ions released from our Pola whitening systems. The oxygen ions break down stains to restore your teeth to their optimal brightness.
Dental erosion (acid wear on teeth) can thin out our white tooth enamel and reveal the yellow from the inner dentine layer, which gives a discoloured appearance. If the erosion is still in the early stages, we can use remineralisation techniques to replenish the calcium and phosphate minerals on the enamel surface to cover and protect the darker dentine inside. Our patients will usually find improvement in the colour of their teeth and reduced tooth sensitivity after remineralising the surface.
Some patients will have a combination of staining and dental erosion, and may require combination treatments for the best long-term results.
