Why have my
teeth lost there whiteness? |
There
are many causes. The most common include genetics,
aging, consumption of staining substances (smoking,
coffee, tea, and sweet drinks), tetracycline (antibiotic)
staining, excessive fluoride, and old fillings.
Staining
is not the only factor that can affect the color of
an individual's teeth. Some people just have naturally
brighter teethl than others. There can also be medical
reasons for any change in the color of your teeth.
This may be a side-effect of the medication or in
some cases discoloration may be caused by the disease
itself. If you suspect that there is an underlying
medical cause for your teeth discoloration, be sure
to inform our cosmetic dentists. |
