What Causes Teeth to Stain?
Teeth can become discolored and stained for many reasons:
- Strongly pigmented foods such as berries
- Some other foods such as apples and potatoes
- Strongly pigmented drinks such as cola drinks, coffee, red wine, and tea
- Tobacco
- Some medications
- Aging
- Genetics
- Some diseases
- Trauma to the teeth
- Excessive Use of Fluoride
- Metal amalgam
- Poor Dental Hygiene
Dental procedures have vastly improved in recent years. Older dental materials like metal amalgam eventually cause the teeth to appear dull or gray. To avoid this, you will want to have tooth-colored fillings for your tooth restorations.
Remove Stains with Tooth Whitening
Los Angeles Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Sands offers tooth whitening to remove stains and discoloration on your teeth. Both the in-office and at-home tooth whitening options we provide will dramatically whiten your teeth. There are two tooth whitening choices:
- The Zoom! Chairside System
- Home Tooth Bleaching Kits
Both options are safe, easy, and affordable. A take-home follow-up kit is part of the Zoom! Teeth Whitening System. You can use it right away if you think your teeth could become even whiter than they became in-office, or you could keep it for later touch-ups.
If you are interested in enhancing your smile and removing the stains on your teeth with tooth whitening, please contact our cosmetic dentistry office in Los Angeles, California.
