“Smile for the camera!” Whispered the photographer. And willingly flashed her best smile. “One, two, three!” Here goes! Are you sure you looked your best and enthusiasm to wait for the photo to be printed. However, get depressed when you look at your image. There is something wrong somewhere.

Stained Teeth are some of the dental complaints most often heard by dentists around the country today. What could have caused her white teeth to be pearly once stained and faded? There are a number of factors can contribute to this dental problem – some may be external, while others are internal.

External factors consist of food and non-food items that have the habit of eating, drinking or put in our mouths. Among them are the following: • Snuff. The snuff appears as the main causes of stained teeth. If smoking or chewing, snuff only bad for your oral health! • Coffee • Tea • Tails • Some fruits (especially blueberries), and fruit juices (especially grape) • Red Wine • Soy sauce • Curry • silver fillings that have discolored leachate and surrounding the tooth

On the other hand, internal factors are those factors that we can not do anything about it. Aging is considered one of these factors. As we age, tooth enamel begins to thin out allowing the underlying layer of yellowish dentin tissue to show through. This explains why the teeth acquire a yellowish stain as they age.

Another reason for this common dental complaint may be intrinsic (occurring inside the teeth) in nature. These are the most commonly seen in children taking the antibiotic tetracycline or the children of mothers who have taken the drug during pregnancy.
