Everyone likes a bright, white smile, however, it is not always easy to maintain the colour of your teeth and unfortunately due to a range of environmental factors teeth can become yellow and stained and lose their natural shine. Nearly half the population of adults here in the UK are unhappy with the appearance of their smile and one of the key concerns is the colour of their teeth. There are different types of teeth staining, teeth staining can be intrinsic or it can be extrinsic.
Intrinsic stains
Intrinsic staining affects the dentine inside your teeth and can occur as a result of different issues such as trauma or infection. Tetracycline antibiotics can cause teeth staining and another cause is excessive exposure to fluoride. Sometimes intrinsic stains can occur when the tooth is developing. Intrinsic stains can make the teeth appear green, blue, grey or even black.
Extrinsic stains
Extrinsic stains affect the enamel of your teeth and they are the most common and make your teeth appear yellow. Extrinsic stains occur as a result of poor oral hygiene, avoiding the dentist, avoiding hygienist appointments as well as consuming certain food and drinks, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and excessive drinking. Extrinsic stains can be prevented if you maintain excellent dental hygiene practices and if you visit the dentist and a hygienist on a regular basis. Otherwise stains build up on the surface of your teeth and over time they become more stubborn and difficult to remove. Most extrinsic stains can be removed by undergoing teeth whitening at the dental practice, however if you are looking for a more dramatic transformation then veneers London with Dr Manrina Rhode could be the perfect solution for you.
