Tooth Discolorations

Tooth Discoloration and Whitening

Fluorosed teeth, often referred to as dental fluorosis or mottled enamel, is a condition resulting from an overconsumption of fluoride during the critical period of enamel formation. Common sources of fluoride include everyday foods, airborne particles, fluoride supplements, and a range of fluoride-containing oral care products.

Tooth Discoloration and Whitening

Yellow Teeth/Black Teeth/Smoker's Teeth

Normal teeth are not pure white but have a light yellow color. The yellowing that typically requires restoration refers to deep discoloration, sometimes accompanied by abnormal colors. There are many causes of tooth discoloration, and the solution depends on the cause. Of course, some people have naturally yellowish teeth or have higher aesthetic demands and can use appropriate methods to achieve bright white teeth.

Tetracycline Teeth

In the 1960s and 1970s, tetracycline antibiotics were widely used, leading to tooth discoloration in some users, particularly children — this condition is known as tetracycline teeth. Since the 1980s, the use of such drugs has been well-controlled, making this condition much rarer today. Even so, it still troubles many people because it is a permanent discoloration that cannot be “cured” through brushing, cleaning, or other methods.

Non-vital Teeth

Pulp necrosis refers to the death of dental pulp tissue, usually resulting from various types of pulpitis. Trauma can also lead to non-vital teeth. Additionally, during dental restoration, the chemical irritation from materials such as silicate cement or composite resin can also cause non-vital teeth. Non-vital teeth typically do not cause pain but may exhibit abnormal coloration, such as dark yellow, gray, or dark gray, and the tooth surface lacks luster. Because non-vital teeth involve internal issues, they cannot be corrected by simple brushing or cleaning.

Black Triangles

When the gums cannot fully cover the space between two adjacent teeth, triangular gaps appear between the teeth, known as “black triangles”. In addition to affecting aesthetics, they can also trap food particles, potentially leading to oral diseases.

Large Gaps Between Teeth

There is a natural gap between teeth, and the size of these gaps can vary depending on the individual’s condition. When the gap between teeth is too large, it can affect dental health and facial aesthetics.

Tooth Damage

Tooth damage may occur due to strong external impacts, bumps, or frequent consumption of hard foods in dietary habits.

Tooth Damage

Enamel Hypoplasia

Enamel is the hard outer layer of the tooth. When enamel hypoplasia occurs, the teeth may become yellow, brown, or discolored, with poor glossiness, and varying degrees of depression, or even partial cusp defects. In severe cases, thermal or chemical stimuli may cause sensitivity pain.
