Discoloration of teeth
can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to
teeth. but some of the more common causes of teeth discolouration
are everyday items such as medications, coffee, tea or
cigarettes.
Aside from staining, there are other factors that can affect the colour of an individual's teeth and genetics can play a role, but some people have a naturally brighter enamel than others.
Whitening of the teeth is performed for patients who desire a brighter smile.
Tooth whitening can
be performed to reduce discolouration and staining, or
simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth.
