Let us try to understand what the reasons behind yellow stains or teeth discoloration are:
Poor dental hygiene: Not following a strict dental hygiene regime is an open invitation to bacteria and plaque. This gives a perfect platform for the teeth to get discolored and put you in an awkward situation. Regular brushing and flossing can help you in innumerable ways.
Aging: Tooth enamel wears down with age and due to this dentin starts showing up as when grows old.
Eating habits: If you do not choose your food wisely, chances are high that you will be a victim of teeth discoloration soon. Excessive intake of coffee, wine, soda, tea, certain juices etc. leads to discoloration of teeth.
Tobacco: Smoking or chewing tobacco has numerous effects on your health and one of those is teeth discoloration. Putting a full stop to such a habit can help you in moving towards a healthy life.
Genetics: Your genes are a big contributor to the way you smile and how bright your pearls are. Some are born lucky with super shining pearls, while others do not fall in that category due to their genes.
Illness: Calcium deficiency, rickets, celiac disease, metabolic diseases, eating disorders and problems in the liver can gradually lead to teeth discoloration because such diseases harm the tooth enamel and thus, teeth discoloration is inevitable.
Trauma: If you have had an accident and ended up with chipped tooth/teeth, you will see your teeth getting discolored due to erosion of tooth enamel.
Medications: Chemotherapy, neck or head radiations, use of antidepressants, antihistamines, antipsychotic drugs or excessive intake of antibiotics like doxycycline or tetracycline before the age of 8 can lead to teeth discoloration.
