Why the Stains?

Have you ever wondered why your teeth get stained? It can be anything from a small amount of discoloration, to spotting, yellowing, or a bright white spot. There are typically two kinds of stains which cause discoloration. The first is intrinsic and develops inside of the tooth structure. This can occur following dental trauma or when taking certain medications during tooth formation. The second type of stains are extrinsic. The extrinsic stains are caused by smoking tobacco, drinking coffee/tea/red wine, different food groups, cavities or plaque and tartar buildup. Dental cleaning and polishing can rid you of these unwanted extrinsic stains. Teeth whitening can be a solution for you.
