Teeth Staining

Teeth can become stained for a number of reasons, from everyday food and drink to smoking or the natural effects of ageing. Understanding the cause can help identify the best way to manage it.

Surface staining is often caused by tea, coffee, red wine, and smoking, and can usually be improved with a professional clean and good home care. Staining that runs deeper within the tooth may need alternative treatment, such as whitening, to achieve a noticeable improvement.

A scale and polish with our hygienists can remove surface staining and plaque build-up, while your dentist can advise whether whitening or other cosmetic treatment would suit you if you are looking for a brighter smile.

Common causes include tea, coffee, red wine, smoking and certain foods. Some staining can also occur naturally with age or from within the tooth itself.

A scale and polish can remove a good deal of surface staining and plaque, though deeper staining within the tooth may need other treatment such as whitening.

Whitening can be effective for many types of staining, though your dentist will assess your teeth first to advise whether it is likely to be suitable for you.
