Teeth Whitening Q & A

What causes tooth discoloration?

Tooth discoloration is common as you get older. Years of built-up stains can settle into your teeth, making them difficult to remove with brushing alone.

There are many factors that can impact the color of your teeth, but the most common causes of tooth discoloration include:

Food and drinks

Certain foods and drinks can stain your teeth, including coffee and tea, soy sauce, dark berries, red wine, soda, and tomato-based sauces.

Tobacco use

Tobacco products, such as cigarettes and chewing tobacco, contain tar and nicotine that can darken your teeth.

Medications

Certain medications can stain your teeth, including antihistamines, antipsychotic drugs, high blood pressure medication, and chemotherapy.

Genetics

Those with thicker enamel typically have whiter teeth than those who have naturally thin enamel. 

Age

Your enamel naturally starts to thin with age, leaving your teeth more susceptible to stains and discoloration.

At-home whitening

At-home whitening trays allow you to achieve professional results in as few as 2-3 weeks. Peninsula Dental Excellence creates custom trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. To whiten your teeth, you add a whitening solution to the tray and wear it on your teeth for anywhere from 2-10 hours.

Professional teeth whitening can dramatically brighten your smile in as little as one visit. To schedule an appointment with Peninsula Dental Excellence, call the office or book online today.
