It’s important to understand the different kinds of dental stains and what products can be used to treat each type, but I’ve found that there are toothpastes that use peroxide as a bleaching agent, making those toothpastes effective against intrinsic stains as well as surface stains.

Thanks for getting this information out there! So many people harm their teeth by treating them incorrectly without understanding these minor, but MAJOR, differences. Education is key!

Based on the article it seems to me that you are quite experienced and know what you are talking about. But when it comes to extrinsic stains – what would be the best treatment you would recommend? Would like to hear every one’s else opinion on this as well.

Thanks

John

Extrinsic staining refers to the discoloration that occurs on the surface of your teeth.

This is important for people to understand because their teeth need to be treated differently.

That actually answers a lot of questions. When i was getting crowns I spent, what seems like forever, whitening my teeth so that I could get white crowns that matched. It seems now like some of the issue is that the stains were intrinsic.

How do stains get inside your teeth? That doesn’t make sense?

Well, Extrinsic Stains seems to be much better than Intrinsic Stains, because they are easier to use, but before that go and see your dentist!

There is a direct correlation between tooth color and age. Over the years, teeth darken as a result of wear and tear and stain accumulation. Teenagers will likely experience immediate, dramatic results from whitening. In the twenties, as the teeth begin to show a yellow cast, teeth-whitening may require a little more effort. By the forties, the yellow gives way to brown and more maintenance may be called for. By the fifties, the teeth have absorbed a host of stubborn stains which can prove difficult (but not impossible) to remove.
