The Causes of Staining and Darkening
A Dental Focus on Achieving a Brighter Smile |
Many lifestyle factors can contribute to teeth becoming darker or developing stains. Smoking, coffee, tea, and certain foods can cause darkening and staining. Some medications can cause teeth to darken as well. Consult your physician if you notice any changes in your tooth color that may be caused by medication. Time itself can also cause teeth to darken. The outer layer of enamel wears away as you age, revealing the darker tissue underneath. Ask your dentist for a recommendation on the best and safest way for you to achieve a brighter smile.
