Unveiling the Causes of Discoloration

Teeth can become yellow or stained due to various factors, and understanding these reasons can help in adopting preventive measures. Here are some common causes of tooth discoloration:

1. Food and Drinks:

   • Consumption of certain foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored fruits, can lead to stains on the tooth enamel.

2. Tobacco Use:

   • Smoking or using tobacco products introduces tar and nicotine to the teeth, causing yellowing and stubborn stains.

3. Poor Oral Hygiene:

   • Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque and tartar buildup, leading to surface stains and discoloration.

4. Aging:

   • As people age, the enamel on the teeth naturally wears down, exposing the yellowish dentin beneath, which can contribute to a duller appearance.

5. Genetics:

   • Genetic factors can influence the thickness and smoothness of tooth enamel, affecting how susceptible teeth are to staining.
