How do teeth get discolored? | Teeth Discolouration Treatment in Ahmedabad

Tooth discoloration is one of the most common dental problems encountered by people. There are various causes of tooth discoloration. Depending on the discoloration type, we have different treatment modalities available at Oris Smiles Dental Clinic.

In the information provided below, we will briefly discuss the causes and available treatment options- by Oris Smiles Dental Clinic.

Food items

Excessive consumption of tea, coffee, cola, and food items like wine or starchy foods can cause tooth discoloration. To avoid such stains, one should limit the dark-stained food item or be careful while consuming them, like using a straw while drinking darkly stained beverages.

Use of tobacco

Smoking or chewing tobacco is the leading cause of tooth discoloration. The stains are grey-black and require habit cessation apart from other dental measures.

Poor oral hygiene

Not maintaining regular oral hygiene is a leading cause of plaque accumulation. The plaque on the tooth surface starts to stain the teeth yellow. Not attending regular dental cleaning sessions is also a major cause of plaque buildup.

Diseases and Medications

The first layer of teeth is called white enamel. Some certain conditions and medications affect the formation of this layer. As the enamel is not fully formed or partially mineralized, the second layer, called dentin which is yellow, starts to show up.

Dental materials

Dental materials like amalgam produce a black color cast around your teeth. It is essential to attend regular dental checkups to notice these old dental fillings and replace them quickly to avoid tooth discoloration.

Aging

As age advances, the teeth wear off, and the dentin starts to show. This gives a yellow hue to the tooth. 

Environment: Tooth discoloration due to dental fluorosis 

Excessive consumption of fluorides during the developmental stages of the teeth will lead to dental fluorosis. The teeth show white streaks or brownish-yellow tooth discoloration. 

Trauma

The tooth tends to change color due to pulpal death because of direct injury. The blunt trauma of the tooth leads to pulpal necrosis which changes the tooth’s color to dark brown or black.

Teeth whitening

It is the most commonly used procedure by our cosmetic dentists. It uses chemicals that release oxygen, which breaks down the stain molecule to decrease tooth discoloration.

Dental veneers

It is the most versatile aesthetic dental procedure to mask tooth discolorations that do not respond to teeth whitening procedures. The porcelain dental veneers are highly durable and stain-resistant material. 

Dental bonding

Tooth-colored resin materials are bonded to improve the color and shape of the tooth. The resin material used is molded as per the natural shape before hardening it with a special blue light
