How to Fix Stained Teeth in South Reno
Learn how to brighten your smile.
Want whiter teeth?
You’re not alone! Americans spend nearly $2 billion dollars every year trying to make their teeth whiter and brighter.
Many people spend too much time and money on over-the-counter whitening strips, charcoal toothpaste, and other home remedies only to get lackluster results. Worse, without dentist supervision, these methods can cause severe tooth sensitivity.
The best way to whiten your teeth, protect your health, and feel confident about your smile is to:
- Change your lifestyle, diet, and brushing habits
- Visit your dentist for a professional teeth whitening treatment
What causes teeth to stain?
Extrinsic Stains
Extrinsic stains are superficial stains. They appear yellow and spread out over your entire smile.
Extrinsic stains are usually caused by:
Smoking
Coffee & Tea
Wine
Dark soda
Intrinsic Stains
Intrinsic stains are not all throughout your smile. They appear as small and very dark or very light stains.
Intrinsic stains are deep in your tooth and caused by:
Medication
Fluoride overexposure
Demineralization
Enamel loss
How do you prevent teeth from staining?
- Brush your teeth at least 2x a day.
- Avoid tobacco products.
- Limit stain-causing foods and drinks like curry, wine, and tomato sauce. Rinse your mouth with water within 30 minutes after eating or drinking these stain-causing foods.
- Get your teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months.
- Try a tooth-whitening toothpaste.
- Consult your dentist about a professional tooth whitening treatment.
Are stained teeth bad?
Extrinsic stains are strictly a cosmetic/aesthetic issue. However, intrinsic stains can be a dental health concern.
It’s important to monitor the health of your smile and make sure your discolored teeth aren’t at risk of cavities, cracks, and other issues.
If you have stained teeth, ask Dr. Waring about what might be the cause at your next dental exam.
