What causes discoloration of the teeth?
Teeth enamel discoloration can be caused by staining,
aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Some of the more common causes of teeth discoloration
are medications, coffee, tea or cigarettes. People who drink significant amounts of
cola soft drinks can experience similar staining.
Aside from staining, there are other factors that can
affect the color of an individual's teeth. Genetics can play a role. Some people have
naturally brighter enamel than others. Disease can also be a factor and certain
medications can cause a discoloration of the teeth. If you suspect that there is an
underlying medical cause for your teeth discoloration, be sure to inform your cosmetic
dentist.
