Hi, I’m Dr Kim Nguyen, one of the dentists at Pitt St Dental Centre in Sydney CBD.
Last Friday, our new patient Jessie, who works just around the corner, came in to see us for some professional teeth whitening. She was self-conscious about the colour of her teeth and wanted to improve the appearance of her smile.
Tobacco can also lead to tooth staining. Smoking or vaping and chewing tobacco can cause dark yellow and brown discolourations.
When you don’t brush and floss regularly. Plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth, making them look yellow and stained.
Age. Unfortunately, as we get older, the enamel on our teeth can wear down, revealing the yellowish hue of the dentine underneath.
Lastly, certain medications such as antibiotics like tetracycline and doxycycline, as well as antihistamines, can cause discolouration of your teeth.
So, what can you do to prevent tooth staining? Well, the first step is to practice good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for professional cleans. As you can see, teeth staining can be caused by various factors.
