Discolouration

Everyone desires a white smile. However, several daily habits contribute to tooth discolouration and affect the beauty of your smile. Certain health issues can also cause tooth discolouration. Beware of the following culprits:

1. Tea, coffee and dark colas
2. Tobacco
3. Red wine
4. Poor dental hygiene

1. Certain medications (antibiotics, antihistamines and blood pressure medication – ask us if your medication is on the list of tooth discolouration culprits)
2. Chemotherapy
3. Trauma to a tooth
4. Aging teeth
5. Genetics
6. Root canal therapy

Crowns, veneers, and bleaching are the usual solutions, but each patient is unique and must be evaluated before a treatment is recommended.

If you are ashamed to smile because of teeth discolouration, call our clinic for a consultation and a personalized treatment plan.
