Although they usually go away when you brush your teeth, they are annoying at first glance and you don&#8217;t know exactly where they came from, when or why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teeth<\/strong> are <strong>naturally white<\/strong> <strong>in colour<\/strong>, although everyone has a greater or lesser degree of whiteness. One of the myths that is believed in society is that <strong>tooth whiteners<\/strong> <strong>make<\/strong> your teeth <strong>pearly<\/strong>, when in fact they simply remove the stains that are currently on your teeth. The <strong>natural colour<\/strong>, whether it is more <strong>yellow<\/strong> or <strong>white<\/strong>, will stand out more, but it will not change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, what causes tooth stains?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Food<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Excessive consumption<\/strong> of <strong>tea or coffee<\/strong> causes the <strong>natural tooth colour<\/strong> to become <strong>darker and darker<\/strong> over time, resembling yellow. Moreover, foods such as vinegar or citrus fruits cause the enamel to suffer because it becomes more transparent, which makes the yellowish dentine stand out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tobacco<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It causes a lot of yellow and slightly brown stains, and affects the <strong>teeth<\/strong> as well as the <strong>gums<\/strong> and <strong>tongue<\/strong>. Repeated <strong>tobacco use <\/strong>can have greater <strong>consequences<\/strong> than stained teeth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fluoride<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Fluorosis<\/strong> is the name given to the <strong>staining<\/strong> of the teeth caused by the use of large quantities of fluoride.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tooth<\/strong> <strong>discolouration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some <strong>teeth<\/strong> have <strong>white stains<\/strong> that become darker and darker over time. This could be a <strong>symptom of tooth decay<\/strong>, the <strong>bacteria<\/strong> residing in the <strong>mouth<\/strong> causes the <strong>food<\/strong> we eat to <strong>turn into acids<\/strong> that erode the teeth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Poor oral hygiene<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is <strong>important to brush your teeth regularly<\/strong> and to know how to do so properly. <strong>Soft deposits<\/strong>, which are the <strong>stains<\/strong> that appear behind the <strong>first teeth<\/strong>, are caused by <strong>dental plaque<\/strong> and <strong>tartar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medicine<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some medicines or illnesses have consequences on our teeth, leaving <strong>traces of colour<\/strong> if they are used <strong>excessively<\/strong> and <strong>for a long time<\/strong>, or making them more <strong>sensitive<\/strong> in terms of <strong>enamel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, it is important to take care of your daily diet, and <strong>healthy habits<\/strong> will keep your <strong>mouth<\/strong> and <strong>teeth<\/strong> <strong>healthy<\/strong> and <strong>perfect<\/strong>. You can always count on the help of <strong>specialists<\/strong> who, together with dental hygiene check-ups and professional cleanings, will help you to control any stains you may be concerned about. However, everything is determined by how you use them in your daily life. Teeth are for life and you must take care of them every day. Avoiding certain foods from time to time is a sacrifice you must make if you want your oral health to be as good as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed a stain that wasn&#8217;t there before?
