13 Jun Color Change in Teeth
Color change in teeth may be caused by staining on the surface of the tooth. Color change in teeth is evaluated under 2 main headings.
Extrinsic Colors: These are the colorations that occur due to localized factors on the outer surface of the tooth. This type of coloration is very common and may be due to a variety of factors.
Intrinsic Coloration: These are the colorations that occur in the formation of teeth (odontogenesis) and in the process after their formation (after odontogenesis).
Teeth may be yellow in structure or discoloration may occur due to eating and drinking. For example; Acidic drinks cause teeth to turn yellow. In addition, antibiotics taken during tooth development may also cause discoloration. Apart from these, tooth discoloration can also be seen due to cigarette, tea and coffee consumption. Therefore, attention should be paid to oral and dental care.
Teeth whitening methods are generally preferred applications for yellowing and stains on healthy teeth. However, in personalized approaches, additional treatments may be required before whitening or tooth coating, especially in cases where the yellowing is internal. Regular dental care, as well as regular dental check-ups, are essential for the prevention and treatment of yellowing teeth.
