Teeth Staining

Why is it worth treating?

In most cases tooth staining or discolouration is not a sign of any underlying issues although if you are concerned e.g the discolouration has developed quickly, or you feel pain or discomfort ensure you seek advice from your dentist.

In almost all cases of treatment, patients express a lack of confidence when they smile due to the colour of their teeth. It should not be underestimated the impact this can have on your mental wellbeing so if it is something you think would boost your confidence it’s well worth asking your dentist for more information.

How can we help?

Discolouration of your teeth is inevitable as you age. Limiting the factors which effect this can make a big difference. In addition, effective daily cleaning at home and regular trips to a hygienist can help to keep heavy staining and significant changes to the colour of your teeth at bay.
