Why Teeth Get Stained
Over the years, teeth can become stained by particles from dark pigments in food or drinks. These stains build-up in the film of protein that covers the enamel. Some of the common reasons behind discoloration include:
- Genetics: You may have inherited a brighter or darker enamel.
- Consuming Certain Foods or Drinks: Coffee, tea, colas, wines, and dark-colored fruits and vegetables can stain enamel.
- Exposure to Certain Chemicals: A high amount of fluoride can lead to discolored teeth.
- Using Tobacco: Chewing tobacco or smoking cigarettes can stain your teeth.
- Dental Materials: Amalgam restorations contain materials that cast a dark color on your teeth.
- Time: As you age, your enamel wears out, revealing the natural color of dentin, which is yellow.
