Stained teeth occur when discoloration affects the surface or deeper layers of your teeth, altering their natural white appearance. Stains can result from dietary habits, lifestyle factors, or underlying health issues. While stained teeth are often a cosmetic concern, they can also signal issues with oral hygiene or dental health. Fortunately, professional treatments can effectively restore the brightness of your smile.
At Los Angeles Emergency Dentist, we offer a range of treatments to address stained teeth, from professional whitening to advanced restorative solutions, helping you achieve a radiant smile.
Tooth stains are generally categorized into three types:
Extrinsic stains occur on the outer surface of the teeth and are caused by substances that come into contact with the enamel. Common causes include:
