Tooth Stains
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Tooth stains are changes in color on the surface of the enamel or within it, which can range from white or yellowish tones to brown or dark shades. They can affect one or several teeth.
Common causes: among the most frequent are the consumption of coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco, the buildup of plaque, certain medications and, in some cases, abnormalities in enamel formation.
When it is worth having them checked: an evaluation is worthwhile when the stains appear suddenly, grow, or are accompanied by sensitivity, since they sometimes reflect cavities or other dental problems.
Who evaluates them? The dentist determines the source of the discoloration and offers guidance on the options to improve dental appearance; the orthodontist and other dental specialists may step in depending on the case. A professional evaluation will help you tell a surface stain from a sign that requires attention.
