Brown teeth: what are these brown spots due to?

gums recede solution

A dental stain can be a real social factor. Then comes the fear of smiling in public, for fear of being the laughing stock of others. The brown color of the teeth can be explained by different factors. Here are the reasons! 😉

What causes the appearance of brown spots and brown teeth?


Dental brown spots have various origins. Often linked to cavities, they can be due to your diet or tobacco consumption . 🚬 Sometimes, they are also the manifestation of poor oral hygiene or the accumulation of dental plaque and tartar, to be eliminated .

Food (coffee, red wine, soda)


Brown dental stains can be explained by a diet unsuitable for the teeth . Indeed, frequent consumption of acidic foods is likely to increase acidity in the mouth and erode dental enamel . When the latter becomes defective, it no longer ensures the protection of dentin, which finds itself at the mercy of threats from the oral environment and bacteria in the mouth . 👄


Coffee is one of the main factors responsible for dental brown stains. This product contains tannins. These being acidic, they color the tooth.


Furthermore, they disrupt oral pH . Therefore, all the acidic foods you eat easily damage your teeth.


Consumption of red or white wine also promotes the browning of teeth. At the origin of this dental coloring are the same tannins present in coffee and tea. 🍵 However, unlike classic tea, that made from mint contributes to the good health of the tooth .


Despite its tendency to stain teeth, wine can help fight cavities . So that your teeth retain their original whiteness , despite the consumption of wine, drink it in moderation . And above all, brush your teeth after consuming it.


If you didn't know, know that sodas and other carbonated drinks are bad for your teeth, but that's not all. They also harm your health. Rich in sugar, these drinks contain acids which weaken enamel and easily damage teeth . Even sugar-free sodas can cause dental problems. The ideal is to avoid as best as possible these products which can also create dental sensitivity to sugar . 👆

Poor oral hygiene, tartar buildup


In addition to an unsuitable diet, poor oral hygiene worsens tooth discoloration . 🪥 A good oral routine essentially means regular tooth brushing. Twice-daily care is the minimum required to meet this requirement.


This involves brushing your teeth thoroughly every morning, when you get up, and every evening, before going to bed.

After this operation, you should no longer eat or drink sugary or alcoholic drinks. Water is the only drink allowed after brushing your teeth in the evening or at night. 🌠


For good tooth health, avoid putting it in contact with very high or very low temperatures, especially if your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold .

For an impeccable oral routine, a doctor will probably advise you to brush during the day . This is particularly useful for people who smoke and those who consume alcohol. And every time you eat a food that could stain your teeth, make sure to brush your teeth thoroughly afterwards.

This will also prevent the appearance of quite unsightly phenomena such as black lines on the teeth, black furrows , yellow teeth , etc. Sometimes the entire tooth can turn black .

Smoking


Tobacco is harmful to the body, but also to the tooth and gums. In people prone to smoking, there is a change in the structure of the oral system . Tobacco chemically attacks the tooth and promotes the proliferation of oral bacteria. Smoking is the cause of periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis or periodontitis (which can develop into severe periodontitis if not treated) but also of bad breath from the mouth. 😶

However, it is possible to reduce the risks of this disease by knowing the foods to avoid to prevent periodontitis.


Tobacco contains substances such as tar and nicotine. These give the tooth a yellowish color. This transformation occurs from the first cigarettes and particularly affects the lower incisors. These being closer to the cigarette filter. In addition to dental stains, people who smoke are at risk of tooth decay . 😖

Carries


Tooth discoloration is a common phenomenon among people with cavities. One of the symptoms of this disorder is illustrated in the form of brown, black spots or even gray teeth . 😷


Brown spots reflect destruction of the enamel under the action of bacteria. In addition to tooth discoloration, cavities cause pain in the gums and teeth. These become extremely sensitive to touch , and also to contact with hot, cold, sweet, acidity and alcohol. 🍷

What are the ways to remove brown color and regain white teeth?


Different means are used to remove the brown color and restore white teeth. Decryption.

Adapt your diet


To fight against tooth discoloration and strengthen your gums , the first solution is to break with certain eating routines . Reduce the consumption of foods that are too soft and likely to stick to the tooth. 🍭


Indeed, without rigorous brushing, the residue stuck between the teeth generates bacteria, which proliferate to form dental plaque. As this accumulates, it gives rise to tartar.

For the good health of your teeth, choose hard, chewable, chewy or chewy foods . In children, chewing promotes the development and strength of the bone and muscular structures present in the mouth. In adults, this helps keep them in shape.

Good oral hygiene


Good oral hygiene is essential to preserve the whiteness and shine of your teeth. Such an attitude also aims to ensure the well-being of the gums . 👌 Dentists share this opinion and therefore recommend regular tooth brushing. It is also possible to brush your gums using a soft brush to strengthen them.


Poor oral hygiene can lead to numerous pathologies linked to the teeth, but also to the gums. Poorly maintained teeth promote the formation of dental plaque , which as it accumulates, ends up transforming into tartar. Unless you visit your dentist for scaling, you may end up contacting a cavity. The persistence of tartar can also lead to gingivitis ( inflammation of the gums which becomes red) or even periodontitis. 💥

Good equipment: sonic electric toothbrush, dental floss, toothpaste, mouthwash


For good oral hygiene, it is not enough to use any brush or toothpaste. For effective brushing, choose a well-chosen electric brush . 💫 Available in rotary and sonic models, dentists are more likely to approve of sonic technology rather than rotary . Thanks to their operation, sonic toothbrushes provide deep cleaning and are much gentler on enamel and gums than their rotating counterparts.


And to ensure that you remove all food residue, even the most encrusted and well-hidden ones, you should consider using dental floss or interdental brushes . Learn about the correct way to use interdental brushes beforehand. Ideal for adults and children over 5 years old, this treatment helps you eliminate 30% more bacteria. A well-chosen mouthwash will take care of the rest. In addition to eliminating oral bacteria, this product freshens your breath . 🍃

Scaling at your dentist


If, despite the prescribed solutions, you notice stains persisting on the surface of your teeth, it is time to consider scaling. Performed by the dentist, it is a treatment aimed at removing the formation of tartar present above and below the gums . We remind you that descaling at home is a very bad idea and strongly discouraged! It is imperative to go to the dentist.

Generally, this operation is associated with periodontal treatments. 💉 These are intended to treat the bones and gums, which are damaged following the procedure.

Teeth whitening


As the name suggests, whitening refers to a painless process for whitening teeth . This requires the application of a product called hydrogen peroxide (or hydrogen peroxide ), the purpose of which is to eliminate each stain.

Available in pure version in diluted form, only a doctor can handle the former. Indeed, these are delicate treatments. 💊 Their use requires certain precautions to be taken.


The dentist is the only one who can determine the concentration of hydrogen peroxide necessary to effectively remedy your problem. He uses it in its raw version. However, anyone can use the diluted form of hydrogen peroxide. 💦 You can get it on the market in the form of a teeth whitening kit and use it yourself.
