Understanding teeth discoloration 

The first thing that you need to know about your teeth so you can get on the right track to achieving a brighter smile is why your teeth get discolored in the first place. Here are some of the most common contributing factors: 

Dietary factors 

Foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries contain pigments that can stain your tooth enamel over time. 

Tobacco use 

Smoking and chewing tobacco can lead to yellow or brown stains on your teeth. 

Poor oral hygiene 

Forgetting to brush or floss your teeth can allow plaque and tartar to build up, which leads to yellowing or discoloration. 

Aging 

As you age, the outer layer of your tooth enamel naturally wears down. This reveals the yellowish dentin underneath. 

Genetics 

Some people may have naturally darker or more yellowish teeth due to their genetics. 

Professional teeth whitening

Regardless of how your teeth become discolored, achieving a dramatically whiter smile in time for wedding season is possible with professional teeth whitening. Here’s why it stands out as a top choice:

Practice good oral hygiene 

Above all, you should prioritize brushing your teeth twice a day with a whitening toothpaste if possible, floss daily, and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash to remove plaque and prevent stains. 

Limit staining foods and beverages 

Reduce your consumption of foods and drinks that are known to stain your teeth like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored sauces.

If you smoke or use tobacco products, quitting can not only improve your overall health but also prevent further teeth staining or discoloration.
