Quiz: Addressing And Avoiding Teeth Stains

A bright, white smile can give you confidence, and make you feel great about how you look. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to stop the slow buildup of teeth stains that can leave a person’s smile dull or discolored. Smart preventive care habits can help. Make sure you brush your teeth after eating, and drink water to help flush away particles that might stick to your enamel, and create stains. If you have already noticed stains building up, you may be interested in a professional whitening procedure. Through a whitening treatment, you can improve the color of your smile by many shades! If you have different issues affecting your smile, you can talk to your dentist about an alternative cosmetic dental treatment.

Questions:

True Or False: Acidic foods and drinks can soften your enamel, which can make it easier for stains to form.

True Or False: Stains left by different food items, drinks, and tobacco products can be treated effectively with a professional teeth whitening treatment.

True Or False: Your dentist might recommend porcelain veneers if you need to address issues caused by intrinsic discoloration.

Answers:

True! When your enamel is softened from exposure to acidic items, stains can have an easier time sticking to your teeth, and changing their color.

True! Professional teeth whitening agents are effective against the stains on your enamel. While store bought products are able to remove stains from the surface of teeth, a professional treatment can make a more dynamic improvement by removing stains that are deeper set.

True! Some issues with smile discoloration come from intrinsic discoloration. This is a term referring to a problem within a tooth that negatively impacts its brightness or color. With porcelain veneers, your dentist can cover intrinsic discoloration.
