Teeth discolouration can be unpleasant even when it’s not a symptom of tooth decay, no one likes looking at stained teeth. Your lifestyle can go a long way in determining this discolouration
tobacco products are especially guilty of causing discolouration. This is due to the chemicals found in the products – nicotine and tar. When nicotine mixes with oxygen, it forms a yellowish substance that will stain the teeth. Tar, on the other hand, is naturally dark, so it'll cause a stain.
Many foods usually leave a stain on the teeth. Also, drinks such as coffee, red wine and tea cause stains. Their strong colour pigment sticks to the teeth's outer part and overtime; this can lead to a visible discolouration.
Some drugs have the side effects of making your teeth darker. Antipsychotics drugs, high blood pressure drugs, antihistamine drugs can cause this. Also, children exposed to drugs like tetracycline during the formation of their teeth may have discolouration as adults.
An injury in the mouth will cause your tooth to react with more dentin, which is a darker layer under the enamel. An excess of this will cause discolouration.
Discolouration can occur naturally too as you grow. With consistent brushing, the enamel, which is the outer part of the teeth, starts to thin out, and the dentin, i.e. the darker layer under the enamel, starts showing.
