Factors Leading to Teeth Discoloration

what-causes-discolored-teeth
There are several factors that may influence the color of your teeth: extrinsic factors, intrinsic factors, and age-related factors.

Extrinsic factors are things that discolor your teeth by coming in contact with them. Some common examples are:

  • Teas, wines, coffee, and soft drinks
  • Citrus fruits and starchy meals
  • Smoking and ingesting tobacco
  • Excessive fluoride use

Intrinsic factors, on the other hand, come from inside the body. Some common examples are:

  • Diseases
  • Pregnancy
  • Side-effects to certain medications
  • Genetics
  • Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation
  • Amalgam restorations

Lastly, aging can lead to thinning tooth enamel, causing a person’s teeth to grow yellow as the dentin — the interior of the tooth — starts to show through.
