What Causes Teeth Stains?
First, it’s important to know where those pesky stains come from. Even with excellent oral hygiene, teeth discoloration happens over time. Some of the most common culprits include:
- Food and Drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, and sauces like soy or tomato can leave stains over time.
- Tobacco Use: Cigarettes and other tobacco products are notorious for yellowing teeth.
- Aging: It’s a fact of life—our enamel naturally thins over the years, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
- Certain Medications: Some antibiotics or other treatments can result in discoloration.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Plaque and tartar buildup can also contribute to dull teeth.
Don’t worry—no matter the cause, our teeth whitening treatments can offer noticeable improvements, helping restore that gorgeous pearly white shine.
