Why do teeth discolor?

The discoloration of teeth can be broadly classified into two main categories, which are intrinsic and extrinsic discoloration. Extrinsic discoloration occurs from environmental factors. Consumption of dark-colored liquids such as wine, cola and coffee and smoking can cause extrinsic discoloration. The porous enamel layer gets stained and the natural color of teeth is masked during the process.

On the other hand, intrinsic discoloration occurs from factors such as consumption of certain antibiotics like tetracycline and excess fluoride consumption.

The teeth are cleaned to clear plaque. A protective gel is applied over soft gum tissues. The whitening agent used during the course may be hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
