Dull teeth? Lost their shine? Teeth discolouration happens to most people with time but there are some things that can be done prevent it and treat it. Alcohol, coffee, tea, fizzy and juice drink will all stain your teeth over time when drunk and are normally the main factor in the discolouration of teeth. This staining can appear as isolated blotches of brown or grey colouring, or as general discolouration of the entire tooth. The tar that is inhaled when smoking will eventually turn your teeth yellow and grey with time, as well as causing numerous adverse health effects.
Some diseases can also cause a discolouration of your teeth, especially in young children. Medications can also be a contributing factor, including some antibiotics. If you are experiencing teeth discolouration and currently ill or under medication you should speak to your dentist or doctor about possible ways of dealing with it. Some dental treatments can also have an adverse effect on tooth colour, including some filling materials such as silver amalgam and too high levels of fluoride can all darken the colour of teeth.
