Reasons Your Teeth Get Stained

 

Your teeth can gradually darken for many reasons. Common causes include:

  • Food & Drinks: Excessive consumption of acidic drinks. Like colas, teas, coffees, wines, and certain fruits.
  • Aging: As we age, our outer enamel layer thins away, revealing the yellow dentin underneath.
  • Tobacco: High use of cigarette smoking and chewing tobacco will stain your teeth.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inconsistent dental hygiene will cause tooth discolorations.

Brushing and flossing every day will help remove plaque and stain-producing substances, such as coffee and tobacco.

What Should I Expect During The Treatment?

 

When going for professional teeth whitening, it is vital to keep the following points in mind:

Our teeth whitening is possible in the comfort of your home and at the dentist’s office. When the procedure is at the office, the dentist will ask some history questions. This will help give insight into the causes of your discoloration. Next, our dental hygienist will clean your teeth. The purpose here is to remove any harmful bacteria or food particles present. It’s vital that your teeth are clean before the procedure starts. Apart from this, there are also many home kits available. These kits can assist a person in teeth whitening inside the comfort of their own home. When using these products, it’s essential to follow the steps and directions carefully. Dr. Raanan can also provide trays with whitening gel. The gel is for individual home use to get whiter teeth.

Expect some restrictions and minor side effects if your teeth aren’t 100% healthy. If you have receding gums or tooth decay, expect some sensitivity. Patients with dental crowns or porcelain veneers should know that teeth whitening will not work on them. Dental prosthetics like these are made to be bleach and stain-resistant, which means that whitening agents will have no effect on them.
