Your Sainte-Marthe dentist can help you identify habits that compromise your smile's appearance. Here are the most common culprits.
Excessive Coffee and Tea Consumption
These popular beverages contain tannins that can stain enamel. Use a straw or rinse your mouth after consumption.
Smoking and Vaping
Nicotine and tar quickly yellow teeth. Vaping, while less harmful, can also cause discoloration.
Drinking Red Wine
Red wine is very acidic and rich in chromogens that stain teeth. White wine, while less visible, is also acidic and can erode enamel.
Neglecting Dental Hygiene
Not brushing regularly allows plaque to accumulate, creating a yellowed and dull appearance.
Mouth Breathing
Breathing through your mouth dries out saliva, which normally protects your teeth. This can lead to discoloration and cavities.
