Teeth Discolouration
What is It and Why Does it Happen?
Teeth discolouration is generally categorised as extrinsic (surface stains) or intrinsic (internal changes), depending on the cause.
Understanding this would help you and your dentist determine the best clinical treatment for you.
Common causes of discolouration:
Lifestyle and Dietary Factors
Frequent consumption of highly pigmented foods and beverages—such as coffee, black tea, red wine, and dark berries—can lead to extrinsic staining over time. Additionally, tobacco use is a primary cause of stubborn yellow or brown surface discolouration.
Ageing and Enamel Wear
As you age, the outer layer of white enamel naturally thins due to wear. This reveals the layer of dentine beneath it, which is naturally more yellow in colour, often resulting in a darker overall appearance.
Medications and Medical Factors
Exposure to certain antibiotics (like tetracycline) during tooth development or the use of specific high-strength mouthwashes can cause deep, intrinsic grey or brown stains. Trauma to a tooth can also cause the internal pulp to die, leading to a greyish hue.
Oral Hygiene and Mineral Intake
Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque and tartar to accumulate, which can trap stains and cause teeth to appear dull. Conversely, excessive fluoride intake during early childhood can lead to fluorosis, which often presents as white or brown spots on the enamel.
While professional whitening is highly effective for extrinsic stains caused by eating and lifestyle habits, intrinsic discolouration (such as that caused by trauma or medication) may require restorative options like veneers or crowns to achieve aesthetic goals.
Get your teeth clinically assessed at Albany Place Dental Practice to understand the causes of any stains or discolouration on your teeth, as well as to determine if your oral health is suitable to undergo whitening treatments. Our team ensures the chosen treatment fits your lifestyle and is safe for your oral health.
