Avoiding the Causes
An obvious way to lessen teeth discoloration is by actively avoiding the causes. However, several factors can contribute to this problem. Some of which involve the food that a person eats. Common teeth-staining foods are soda, curry, fruit juices, tea, coffee, tomato sauces, soy sauce, blueberries, and red wine. For people with severe cases of teeth discoloration, removing this food from their diet can significantly help whiten their teeth. In addition, a diet with low sugar and simple carbohydrate content is also recommended.
Chewing tobacco, smoking cigarettes, drug abuse, excessive fluoride consumption, and strong mouthwashes are also leading causes of teeth discoloration. Therefore, patients who want to whiten their teeth should lessen or, if possible, eliminate these activities. Talk to experts about healthy ways to withdraw from these activities.
Unfortunately, some causes are natural and inevitable, such as mouth trauma, genetics, underlying health conditions, chronic dry mouth, and old age. In these cases, experts may recommend safer ways to make teeth healthier.
