Cases of Teeth Discoloration and Their Causes

Teeth discoloration is the case when the color of your teeth is not as bright as usual. Different colorations may occur, and each color has its specific cause.

Yellow discoloration typically occurs as you age because your teeth’s enamel wears down, making your teeth’s core even more visible. If oral hygiene is poorly practiced and you smoke as well, your teeth may turn brown, and when decay happens, they turn black.

If you are industrially exposed to minerals, you are likely to develop gray or black lines on your teeth. White spots occur among children as their teeth develop because of too much fluoride from water or toothpaste.

How to Treat Teeth Discoloration

Teeth whitening and bonding can be the best solutions for teeth discoloration. These procedures can be done alongside your regular dental checkups. Removal of plaque and tartar is a must to ensure the effectiveness of the chemical used in these procedures.

Your dentist will also recommend some over-the-counter products for you to use in your oral hygiene to maintain the brightness of your teeth for a more extended period.
