What to do when teeth lose their brightness
Tooth discolouration can impact your willingness to smile, as well as your overall confidence. A common response is to reach for off-the-shelf whitening kits, but these may not be your best option. Get to know the common causes of tooth discolouration, how to keep teeth brighter for longer, and explore the effective treatments to safely and powerfully restore your teeth to their natural brightness.
Causes of tooth discolouration
Tooth discolouration can result from various factors:
Poor oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque to accumulate on your teeth. Plaque harbours bacteria that produce acids and pigments, leading to staining over time.
Lifestyle choices:
Smoking:
Tobacco use is a significant cause of tooth staining, as nicotine and tar in tobacco can turn teeth yellow or brown.
Diet:
Regular consumption of staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and curries can cause teeth to discolour. These items contain chromogens and tannins, which attach to the enamel and cause stains.
Certain medications:
Antibiotics:
Medications like tetracycline and doxycycline can cause intrinsic stains if taken during the tooth development phase in children or young adults.
Mouthwashes and rinses:
Products containing chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride can lead to extrinsic staining on the teeth.
Ageing:
Enamel wear:
As we age, the outer layer of enamel on our teeth naturally wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin underneath.
Dentin darkening:
The dentin, which is the layer beneath the enamel, can darken over time, contributing to the overall discolouration of teeth.
Dental trauma:
A fall or blow to the mouth can cause teeth to discolour, especially in children whose teeth are still developing.
Genetic factors:
Some people are born with enamel that is more prone to discolouration or with naturally darker dentin.
Excessive fluoride:
High levels of fluoride in water (a condition known as fluorosis) or excessive use of fluoride-containing products can lead to tooth discolouration.
Our approach to treating discoloured teeth
At Healthy Smile Dental, we offer personalised treatment plans to address your specific needs and effectively restore your smile’s natural brightness. Consulting a dental health professional is an important part of ensuring you get the smile you want with utmost safety.
Professional teeth whitening: Our safe and effective in-office whitening treatments can remove stubborn stains in a single visit, providing immediate results. We can tailor the treatment intensity based on your desired level of whitening and sensitivity.
Take-home whitening kits: Enjoy the convenience of whitening at your own pace with our customised take-home kits. We’ll provide professional guidance to ensure safe and effective whitening.
Porcelain veneers: For severe discolouration or if teeth don’t respond well to whitening, thin, custom-made porcelain veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth, masking imperfections and creating a long-lasting, bright, and uniform smile.
Composite bonding: This treatment effectively covers minor stains using a tooth-coloured resin material applied, sculpted, and polished to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
