Tooth Stains

It's easy to stain our teeth. Lifestyle habits play a huge role in tooth discoloration, especially for those who drink coffee, chew hard candy, drink tea, or smoke cigarettes on a daily basis. But that doesn’t mean your teeth need to stay that way. Fortunately, brightening your smile is as easy as visiting Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS for a professional cleaning or a teeth whitening session. 


There are two primary classes of tooth stains: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic tooth stains are stains on the surfaces of teeth. Intrinsic tooth stains are found on the inside of the tooth, within its inner layers, in the dentin or in the pulp area. Extrinsic tooth stains are caused by practicing poor oral hygiene and lifestyle habits that we mentioned above, while intrinsic stains are caused by tooth traumas (a broken or chipped tooth), and dental conditions. Avoiding stained teeth altogether requires brushing, flossing and seeing your dentist regularly.
