Why do teeth have pigmentation and why do they yellow?
Tooth pigmentation and yellowing are natural processes that occur due to various internal and external factors. Understanding these causes helps in better dental care and maintaining their shine after whitening.
Causes of tooth pigmentation and yellowing
- Food and drink - Consumption of dark-colored foods like coffee, black tea, red wine, carbonated drinks, and spicy foods can leave pigmentation marks on enamel.
- Smoking - Nicotine and tar from cigarettes cause dark stains and accelerate the yellowing process of teeth.
- Aging - With age, enamel wears down, becomes thinner and reveals dentin - the inner layer of the tooth that naturally has a yellowish color.
- Poor oral hygiene - Insufficient brushing and improper hygiene allow plaque and tartar buildup, which contribute to darker tooth color.
- Medications - Long-term use of certain antibiotics like tetracycline during tooth development can cause permanent color changes.
- Genetics - Natural color and enamel thickness are genetically determined, so some people are prone to darker tooth shades.
How to maintain teeth after whitening?
After the Fotona laser whitening procedure, it's important to follow certain recommendations to make the results last longer.
- Avoid colored food and drinks - For the first 48 hours, avoid coffee, tea, red wine, carbonated drinks, dark sauces, and spices that can cause teeth to darken again.
- Reduce or avoid smoking - Nicotine accelerates tooth pigmentation. It's recommended to reduce or quit smoking to keep your smile bright.
- Regular oral hygiene - Regularly brush teeth, use interdental brush, dental floss, and mouthwash when needed.
- Tartar cleaning - Regular dental check-ups and professional teeth cleaning help remove plaque and tartar that cause pigmentation.
- Using a straw - When consuming colored drinks like coffee or tea, using a straw can reduce color contact with teeth.
