Frequently Asked Questions
Why do teeth discolour?
The outer layer of a tooth is called the enamel. The colour of natural teeth is created by the reflection and scattering of light off the enamel, combined with the colour of the dentin under it.
Your genes affect the thickness and smoothness of the enamel. Thinner enamel allows more of the color of the dentin to show through. Having smoother or rougher enamel also affects the reflection of light and therefore the colour.
Every day, a thin coating (pellicle) forms on the enamel and picks up stains. Tooth enamel also contains pores that can hold stains.
The most common reasons for teeth to discolour are natural aging and prolonged consumption of staining agents such as coffee, tea, red wine, curries, sauces etc.
People can have staining inside the tooth, that can occur up to the age of 12 years, when children are exposed to excessive levels of fluoride, and tetracycline or other antibiotics.
White Lightening Teeth Whitening is always most effective on the surface stains (extrinsic) as opposed to the inside (intrinsic) permanent stains or formations.
