Foxland Dental Surgery - Stain Removal
They say that the secret to a beautiful smile is great teeth and while this may not be perfectly true, a gleaming set of pearly whites certainly looks fantastic. But for many of us, gleaming white teeth is more of a dream than a reality, especially with the daily exposure to substances like cola, tea, smoke, acidic juices and highly pigmented foods. However, there are some simple things you can do to minimise and remove teeth stains.
In fact, teeth are never naturally completely white - they tend to be a light yellow. However, they do tend to darken as they age and with constant use. This is because the surface enamel cracks and erodes, which exposes the dentine - this is more porous and thus absorbs food colours and pigmentation. In addition, stains can also grip onto the plaque and tartar build-up on teeth.
