There are many different causes for your teeth to become discoloured from the pearly whites you were born with. These factors include the following.

Certain Foods:

Foods such as berries, tomato sauces, soy source, coloured lollies, acidic foods and a range of others can stain your teeth when eaten in excess. In saying this, we do not recommend stopping eating these foods completely. Just be aware and consume in moderation, ensuring that your rinse/brush your teeth after meals.

Certain Drinks:

Drinks such as tea, coffee, carbonated soft drinks, sports drinks and wine can also cause staining. Hot beverages can cause hot and cold cycling, which leads the teeth to expand and contract to allow stains to penetrate the teeth. Again, we recommend cutting down on drinking these beverages in excess, using a straw when possible and washing teeth after consumption.

Tobacco:

Chewing and smoking tobacco have negative effects on your teeth and should be avoided.

Poor Dental Hygiene:

It is integral to regularly brush and floss your teeth and to use mouth wash when possible. Especially important when you are at high risk of tooth discolouration due to the factors including in this post.

Aging:

Sadly, as we get older, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets worn away, revealing the natural yellow colour. This is mostly unavoidable but can be treated with our teeth-whitening services and veneers.

Disease:

There are a number of diseases that affect tooth enamel, thereby causing discolouration. In addition to this, certain treatments and medicines such as chemotherapy and the antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline, also cause teeth darkening.

Genetics:

Some people simply have brighter or thicker teeth than others.
