There are many different factors which can affect the way you feel about your smile. Yellow discolouration and stains on your enamel can have a significant impact on the appearance of your teeth and can leave you feeling self-conscious and reluctant to smile as often as you would like.
Everybody blessed with their natural dentition suffers from a certain extent of tooth staining. There are many different causes of enamel staining and these effects vary from patient to patient. Poor oral hygiene is the main cause of yellow teeth. It is important that you brush and floss your teeth after mealtimes to remove any remaining food particles and prevent the development of bacteria in your mouth. Avoiding the dentist Fulham is another major cause of yellow teeth or staining and can result in the development of plaque and tartar in the mouth, which continues to build up and affect the colour of your teeth. Other factors which cause yellow, stained teeth are lifestyle choices such as smoking and drug abuse. Our diets can influence the appearance of our teeth and some drinks such as coffee, tea, cola, and red wine can result in enamel staining. Certain foods such as curries, tomato sauce based meals, soya sauce and balsamic vinegar can cause staining over time too. Again it is important to brush your teeth after mealtimes to help prevent this.
These types of stains are called extrinsic stains and can be addressed here at Chelsea and Fulham Dentist. You can find teeth whitening products over the counter in pharmacies, however, these are usually ineffective and may not be suitable for you. To undergo teeth whitening with our dentist Fulham we will first ask you to visit us for a smile assessment and an examination of your teeth and gums. We will make sure that you have no underlying dental issues which may be affecting your oral health and if so then we will offer a restorative dental treatment prior to undergoing teeth whitening. Once our dentist Fulham is happy that you are ready for teeth whitening, we will talk about the options that are available for you.
