Why Are Your Teeth Yellow?
Understanding Teeth Discoloration
Not all teeth stains are the same! Before undergoing professional teeth whitening, it's important to understand why your teeth appear yellow, gray, or brown.
Dr. Patricia Suiza a Periodontist, explains that professional whitening is highly effective—but only if the right diagnosis is made first. Some stains respond well to whitening, while others require a different treatment approach.
🔹 Extrinsic Stains – Caused by lifestyle habits like smoking, coffee, tea, and wine consumption. These can be treated with teeth whitening.
🔹 Intrinsic Discoloration – If your tooth is gray or brown, it could be due to a dead tooth, requiring a different procedure.
Thinking about whitening your teeth? The key is to consult a professional who can determine the best treatment for your case.
