What Causes Teeth Stains?

You catch sight of your smile in the mirror or in a photo. Are you seriously unhappy with what you see? If you’ve got teeth stains, it can make you feel really self-conscious about your smile. But what causes them?

Foods/drinks

Coffee, tea, red wine, and some fruits and veg can stain your teeth.

Tobacco Use

If you smoke or chew tobacco, it can cause teeth stains.

Poor Dental Hygiene

Could your oral health routine be better? Do you fail to floss or brush as often as you should? Your teeth can appear stained and covered in plaque.

Health Conditions and Treatments

From certain infections to cancer treatments, underlying health conditions can cause teeth stains.

Medications

Medicated mouth wash like chlorhexidine can stain your teeth as can antihistamines, antipsychotic drugs, and drugs for high blood pressure.

Getting Older

As you get older, the outer layer of tooth enamel wears away. This means  your teeth won’t appear as bright and healthy as they once did.

Traumatic Injury to the Teeth

Did you ever fall off your bike and damage your teeth when you were a child? This can affect enamel formation and cause discoloration to the teeth.

How To Prevent Teeth Stains

Want to keep your pearly whites white rather than yellow, brown, or black? Here’s what you can do.

• Brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after eating or drinking these things:

Coffee or tea

Soda

Red or white wine

Grape or cranberry juice

Blueberries

Beets

Soy sauce

Tomato sauce

• Cut down on coffee consumption.
• Drink through a straw. This keeps liquids away from the surface of the teeth.
• Stick to a good oral health routine. Brush, floss, and use a mouthwash every day. This can prevent plaque and stains from forming.
• See your dentist regularly and book in for a good teeth clean every 6 months.
