What Causes Teeth Discolouration?

There is no single universal tooth colour. Everyone is born with different shades. Your genetic makeup determines your natural colour.

Genes aside, there are other factors that affect the colour of your teeth. Excluding the natural process of ageing, your teeth may suffer discolouration due to extrinsic factors such as your diet.

There are foods that easily stain the teeth including:

  • Coffee
  • Citrus/Acidic Food
  • Tea
  • Soda
  • Wine
  • Soy Sauce
  • Sweets
  • Berries

Stains left after eating these foods can be removed with proper brushing. However neglect and poor oral hygiene do the reverse.

If your discoloured teeth are not yellowish, the cause of discolouration might be intrinsic. Such factors that lead to teeth discolouration include:

  • Drugs – Tetracycline intake by pregnant women during the second trimester or intake when you were 8 years old or younger.
  • Fluoride – Too much fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, a condition in which white spots or lines develop on the teeth.
  • Tooth Trauma – Internal bleeding of the tooth during accidents can cause discolouration.
  • Dentinogenesis Imperfecta – A rare condition that causes teeth to be grayish, amber, or even purple.

At-Home Whitening

For our At-Home teeth whitening, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth using a special putty. The impression will be used to create your custom-made teeth whitening trays. Once ready, you can bring those trays and a peroxide-based gel home with you.

You now have the liberty of treating yourself in the comfort of your home, without the need to visit the dentist.

What to Expect

With our At-Home teeth whitening, your teeth should be professionally cleaned first to achieve best results.

A dental exam will be performed to determine if you are an ideal candidate for teeth whitening. Pregnant women and gum disease sufferers, for example, are not ideal candidates.

Cavities must first be treated to avoid teeth irritation from the bleaching gel. For the home whitening, personalised trays are manufactured, which you have to wear for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour at night. In just a week, your teeth’s appearance will improve by 4-5 shades.
