Teeth stain for many reasons, including your food and drink choices, oral hygiene, and medication use. Teeth stains occur on the surface of the tooth or below the tooth enamel and some people develop both types of teeth stains.
Types of Tooth
Discoloration (Stains)
Tooth discoloration can occur as a result of surface stains, due to actual changes in your tooth material, or because of a combination of both factors.
- Extrinsic Teeth
Stains: An extrinsic tooth stain is staining on the surface of the tooth.
It occurs when stain particles, build-up in the film of protein that covers the
tooth enamel. This type of tooth stain responds well to regular dental cleaning
and brushing the teeth with whitening toothpaste.
- Intrinsic Teeth Stains: An intrinsic tooth stain is staining below the surface of the tooth. It occurs when stain-causing particles work through the exterior of the tooth and accumulate within the tooth enamel. Excessive fluoride use have been associated with intrinsic stains, especially in children. An intrinsic tooth stain is trickier to remove, but it can be done. An intrinsic tooth stain may require bleaching using professional or at-home chemical teeth-whitening products.

- Age-Related Teeth Stains: Age-related teeth stains combine the results of both intrinsic and extrinsic tooth discoloration. Because the core tissue of your teeth, the dentin, naturally yellows over time, teeth discolor with age. As we age, the enamel that covers the tooth becomes thinner, allowing the dentin to show through.

Are you considering teeth whitening
to help reinvigorate a smile tainted by discoloration? Professional, in-office teeth whitening is the most
popular cosmetic dental procedure in the world today. Unlike home-use systems
that incorporate low-dose bleaching agents, in-office whitening takes place
under carefully monitored conditions which allow for the safe, controlled,
pain-free use of a relatively high concentration of bleaching gel – yielding
results that are visible immediately.

Advantages
- Produces fastest results.
- This is the safest form of bleaching.
- Gum and tooth sensitivity (formerly drawbacks to in-office bleaching) are more controllable today due to thicker peroxide gels (that don’t soak into the teeth as much as previous gels) and the use of desensitizers such as potassium nitrate and fluoride.
Disadvantages
- More expensive than take-home alternatives.
- Results can be unpredictable, depending on factors such as age, heredity and the type of staining that is present.
- In-office bleaching is not a permanent solution. Shortly
after treatment is completed, the teeth resume accumulating stains. Many
dentists therefore recommend home maintenance follow-up with a lower-percentage
bleach that can be kept on the teeth for longer periods of time.
