Causes of Dental Stains

What Causes Dental Stains?

Dental stains are commonly caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, or red wine. They can also be caused by certain medications or simply genetics. Some foods and beverages contain pigments that stick to the surface of your teeth. This means that even if you brush your teeth immediately after eating these foods and beverages, it's likely they'll still remain on your teeth.

Once stained, teeth can appear yellow or brownish in color. The shade of the discoloration depends on the individual as well as what they're consuming.

How Can Dental Teeth Whitening Help?
