How Can Teeth Become Yellow or Stained?

There are two main types of tooth discoloration: Extrinsic and Intrinsic

Understanding Extrinsic Stains

Surface stains on teeth are caused by lifestyle habits that lead to extrinsic discoloration of the enamel, the teeth’s outermost layer. Dark beverages such as wine, coffee, cola, or tea, as well as smoking and chewing tobacco, are the main culprits of yellow teeth. Plaque buildup caused by bad oral hygiene can also lead to tooth discoloration.

Understanding Intrinsic Stains

Intrinsic stains occur on the dentin layer located beneath the enamel. Certain medications, such as doxycycline or tetracycline antibiotics, can cause intrinsic staining, which occurs when stains are generated inside the tooth. 

Other Contributing Factors

Other factors can cause tooth discoloration, such as injury, genetics, and age. Some people are genetically predisposed to having yellow-looking teeth because of their thinner enamel. Also, over time, teeth can start to yellow as enamel naturally thins with age, despite even the most vigorous oral hygiene routine.

KÖR Professional Teeth Whitening

KÖR professional teeth whitening is optimal for anyone seeking a brighter smile. Customized whitening trays are created to fit each individual’s teeth precisely. The trays are used at home by placing whitening gel in them for the recommended duration each day, usually for two weeks or up to several months for severely darkened teeth.

If a higher level of whitening is desired, KÖR in-office whitening can be added to the at-home bleaching. In-office whitening begins with isolating gum tissue to prevent any sensitivity from the bleaching gel. Then, the gel is applied to the teeth and activated to speed up the whitening process. The procedure is repeated multiple times during the session to achieve the desired results.
