Teeth discoloration can be due to stains on the surface or by internal changes.
Discoloration can be due to:
- External discoloration – The outer layer of the tooth (the enamel) is stained due to coffee, wine, cola or other drinks, foods or smoking.
- Internal discoloration – The inner structure of the tooth darkens or gets a yellow tint
- Too much fluoride consumption during early childhood
- Use of tetracycline antibiotics during development of teeth
- Trauma to affected tooth at young age
- Rare genetic condition called dentin genesis imperfect. This causes gray, amber or purple discolorations
Age-related discoloration – Over time teeth naturally yellows as the enamel gets thinner with age!
