How Do Teeth Become Discolored?

It’s a common misconception that yellow teeth only result from poor oral hygiene. While oral hygiene does play an important role in the color of your teeth, there are many other ways that your teeth can become discolored, some of which are out of your control.

Some of the main reasons for tooth discoloration include:

  • Natural darkening with age
  • Drinking red wine, soda, and coffee
  • Eating dark fruits such as blueberries
  • Genetics
  • Tobacco use
  • Certain medications

Our Parkside Dental team will help you determine which of our whitening treatments is best for you, no matter the reason for your discoloration.

The new shade of your teeth generally lasts a couple of years, but it depends on how well you take care of your teeth. Avoiding dark-colored foods that stain your teeth can help your teeth to remain whiter for a longer amount of time.
