Cosmetic Dentistry
All of us will notice at some point that the natural brightness of our smile fades as we age. This is one reason why professional teeth whitening at our Puyallup dental office is such a popular treatment.
Reasons for Tooth Staining and Discoloration
There are several reasons why you have stained, discolored, or yellow teeth:
- Natural aging: As you age, microscopic pores open in tooth enamel, exposing more of the yellowish color of the layer of dentin beneath it.
- Staining foods and beverages: Frequently consuming food and beverages that stain your teeth compounds the problem. Some of these are coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored berries. In limited quantities, these are fine, but if your teeth are stained, they could be the culprits.
- Poor oral hygiene: Sometimes, we see patients with yellow teeth caused by a lack of proper oral hygiene.
