You hope the picture doesn\u2019t catch a particular part of your smile: your tooth stains. Probably no one else notices them, but every time you check the mirror, you can\u2019t help but keep a mental note of them. Ever wonder how they got there in the first place? Lucky for you, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">local dentist<\/a> can remove tooth stains in Skokie, point out their causes, and give you ways you can brighten your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Types of Tooth Stains Are There?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extrinsic stains<\/strong> are on the surface of the tooth. This can be caused by residue from drinks or foods which cover the enamel. Regularly drinking coffee, wine, or sodas can darken the teeth, and the same can occur with tobacco use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intrinsic stains<\/strong> are below the surface of the tooth. This occurs when stain-causing particles from foods and drinks push through the surface and accumulate within the enamel. Excessive amounts of fluoride can also be the cause, especially with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Age-related stains<\/strong> are simply the combination of extrinsic and intrinsic discoloration. The dentin, which is just inside the enamel, naturally turns yellow over time. As the enamel thins, the dentin shines through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Else Causes Tooth Stains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than food, drinks, and tobacco use, the causes for tooth stains can be poor dental hygiene, disease, or even some medical treatments. Not brushing or flossing routinely can allow for discoloration of the enamel. Trauma or illnesses during childhood or certain treatments, like high blood pressure medications or chemotherapy, can cause tooth stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Get Rid of Stains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most basic method to keep your teeth healthy and bright is having consistent oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing twice daily, and visiting your dentist at least twice a year, can prevent stains before they develop. If your teeth are already discolored, your dentist can recommend the best teeth-whitening products for you. Besides these products, your dentist can provide a professional teeth-whitening treatment, which is safer and more effective than any store or online product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have stubborn stains that won\u2019t respond to whitening, porcelain veneers are always an amazing option. In just two visits, your dentist can apply natural-looking ceramic shells that go over your teeth that instantly make your smile several shades lighter. Any tooth stains from before will be essentially camouflaged by the veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No more worrying about your teeth in the mirror or the next group photo. With these solutions, your smile will be the brightest it\u2019s ever been!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Brad Weiss, DDS, and Dr. Ali Fulreader, DDS, practice dentistry at Weiss Dental Arts in Skokie, IL.
