Types Of Teeth Stains

White teeth are all the rage, and it's not hard to see why. Seeing someone with a white, dazzling smile instantly makes others feel good. They also seem to beam with confidence and shine with friendliness and sincerity.

One of the biggest reasons most people don't have confidence in their smile is because of teeth discoloration or staining - but practically anyone can get a brighter smile if they find the right products. Understanding the different types of teeth stains and how to remove them will ensure your smile is as brilliant as it possibly can be.

Reviewing Types of Teeth Stains

Tooth discoloration can be caused by stains on the surface of your teeth or because of changes in your tooth material - or both. In general, there are three different categories that tooth discoloration can fall into, including the following:

• Extrinsic Teeth Stains

  If you have extrinsic teeth stains, these occur when stain particles build up on the protein film that covers your tooth enamel. More often than not, they are caused by the foods and beverages you drink or by using tobacco. Extrinsic teeth stains are surface stains and typically respond well to regular dental cleanings and daily brushings.

• Intrinsic Teeth Stains

  When it comes to these types of tooth stains, they occur below the surface of your teeth. If the particles that cause staining work their way through the protein film and gather on your enamel, then you may find that you have brown stains on your teeth. Like extrinsic teeth stains, intrinsic stains can also be caused by the foods and beverages you consume and whether or not you use tobacco products.

  It's has also been found that using too much fluoride can also cause intrinsic teeth stains. Certain medications may also contribute to this type of staining on your teeth as well. If you are wondering how to remove deep stains from teeth, you need to find the right at-home whitening products or work with a professional to have them whitened .

• Age-Related Teeth Stains

  As you get older, the core of your teeth (called dentin) yellows over time. When this occurs, it will cause your teeth to lose their dazzling white color and look stained or brown. Again, the foods and beverages you consume will also contribute to this discoloration. Coffee stains teeth, and the longer you expose your mouth to this beverage and other foods or tobacco, the more discolored your teeth will become.

Other Factors that Stain Teeth

Food, beverages and tobacco are the main culprits when it comes to items that discolor your teeth, but they aren't the only things that contribute to staining. Other factors that may leave your teeth less than white include the following:

• Poor Oral Care

  If you don't brush and floss regularly, or have your teeth checked by a dental professional, this could lead to staining and discoloration.

• Disease or Trauma

  As a child, if you were exposed to any illness, disease or trauma that impacted your enamel development, this could result in discolored or stained teeth. There are also diseases and treatments that you may experience as an adult that could also stain or discolor your teeth. Radiation and chemotherapy are the most common, but treatments for high blood pressure, allergies or mental health issues could stain your teeth as well.
