White and fresh! This is how everyone wishes they could keep their teeth. For this, we are ready to try different more or less effective formulas of dental whitening to eliminate dental staining. 🦷

The same need arises when the stains present on the teeth are brown or brown, or the teeth are gray or yellow. The discomfort that a stain can cause is very unpleasant. This is why MyVariations offers you solutions here to effectively remove these unsightly stains.

Brown spots on the teeth: what is it?

Having brown spots or any discoloration on the teeth is not necessarily the result of tooth decay. Nor is it always the result of an external cause. Genetics may be the basis. 🧬

Even better, if the structure of your tooth enamel is more porous, you will be more prone to the appearance of stains on your teeth.

Children's milk teeth are also exposed to these brown spots. By dint of accumulating food residues in the mouth due to incomplete or insufficient brushing, we see their pigmentation. 😕

How do these brown spots appear? What are the causes ?

Oral and food hygiene that is not always perfect can have direct consequences on the condition of the teeth. Most of the time, the dental stains that appear are yellow , black or brown. 🍌

Putting tooth decay aside, the following are the ones that are likely to affect tooth color:

  • Tobacco consumption 🚬

  • The consumption of drinks or pigmented foods ☕️

  • Certain medications 💊

  • Poor oral hygiene 🪥

  • An abusive mouthwash whose main ingredient is chlorhexidine (you should be very careful to choose your mouthwash according to your needs, for example a mouthwash against bad breath ) 🧪

You must then pay attention to these factors if you do not want to have browned teeth.

How to remove brown stains from your teeth?

The recommended solution when the brown spots are well anchored on the teeth, is dental whitening in a dentist's office . The operation consists of passing a lightening substance highly concentrated in hydrogen peroxide over the teeth. 🩺

However, this is not a recommended treatment for everyone. There is a contraindication for people with dental hypersensitivity . So ask your dentist for the treatment that suits your profile.

For a treatment to be applied at home , the dentist can prescribe the use of a dental whitening kit. Gutter strips and whitening pencils are also suitable for home treatment. 🏠

Apart from the modern medical solutions, the natural ones can also give you the desired result. But before all this, keep in mind that good oral hygiene and brushing with the right method are the basis of any treatment you may adopt.

Other practical tips to keep your teeth white

To have white teeth , apply while brushing your teeth (two minutes of brushing with an electric brush and three minutes with a manual brush).

Use baking soda, a natural remedy that is also found in the composition of all toothpastes on the market. 🍃
It is often coupled with hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth .

Don't forget to drink water after having your coffee.

Using the MyVariations electric toothbrush

Electric toothbrushes are the most beneficial and suitable type of brushes today for thorough brushing. Effective from all points of view, they eliminate dental plaque and tartar , and do not damage the enamel. You will find two different types: those designed with oscillating-rotating technology and those with sonic technology .

You will then have to choose between a rotating brush and a sonic brush .

To quote a very good model of sonic brush, by adopting MyVariations sonic electric toothbrushes you will not only be entitled to the great cleaning performance of sonic electric toothbrushes, but also to many other features. 👌

These include, among others:

From 5 brushing modes to variable use and power
A timer to rigorously do the two minutes of brushing recommended by dentists
Replacement heads fitted with soft nylon bristles for efficient but not aggressive brushing
A battery with a full month's autonomy


MyVariations toothbrushes are particularly suitable for people looking for optimal brushing efficiency in order to gain a few shades of white. They have a set of features that guarantee good tooth brushing and a playful side for the youngest too. 👧

Choosing the right electric toothbrush against stains?

All dentists agree that nothing is more effective than an electric toothbrush for removing plaque and preventing stains. But you still have to choose your electric toothbrush wisely.

Oscillating-rotating electric toothbrushes make rotations. This is not the case with sonic toothbrushes. These produce vibrations that move the bristles of the brush vertically like the movement of manual brushing, but at a rate of 31,000 to 40,000 micro-movements per minute. To choose, you can test both models and opt for the one that suits best. 😉

Also, don't forget to consider additional accessories and features, and design if that's important to you.

Also consider your oral hygiene goals and needs. Moreover, the two technologies are still effective, however the sonic technology offers, in addition to its great efficiency in removing dental plaque and limiting the accumulation of tartar, an unequaled softness towards the gums and dental enamel. 🌸

We remind you that descaling at home is a very bad idea and strongly discouraged! It is imperative to go to the dentist.

Some Natural Remedies To Remove Brown Stains From Teeth

Several recipes are possible to remove the brown spots that tarnish your smile.

Lemon 🍋

The lemon is certainly acidic, but this is where all its performance in terms of gum lies. You can also use it to have fresh breath and fight against tartar. The vitamin C it contains also helps reduce the accumulation of this tartar.

Vegetable charcoal to no longer have brown teeth 🪵

Obtained from poplar, willow or lime tree, vegetable charcoal is well known for its descaling properties. It is one of the whitening products that you can easily find in pharmacies.

To use, add a pinch of powder to the toothbrush. Only do this twice a week so as not to damage the enamel.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Why brown spots on the teeth?

If you notice brown spots on your teeth, they may be the result of the foods you eat.

It will also mean that your enamel becomes more permeable to pigments. It will then be necessary to adopt some habits that will allow you to eliminate food residues in the mouth after a meal or after drinking sugary drinks. 🥤

Do the effects of teeth whitening last?

In general, the results of whitening last three years. For some people, the teeth will stay white for much longer. The only thing you may need to do is a touch up every six months. ⏰

Whitening your teeth exposes you to side effects?

Yes, while whitening your teeth, you could suffer from dental hypersensitivity. This often happens during cold weather. ❄️

The enamel can be weakened during thermal changes . Demineralization of the tooth is also possible. But all this will not happen if you take the right precautions by adopting techniques that do not involve risk.

What foods should I stop eating so I don't get brown spots on my teeth?

The list of foods that cause tooth stains is long. These include: fruit juices, red wine, colored popsicles, ketchup, coffee, soft drinks. 🥫 This list is not exhaustive.

What toothpaste to remove brown spots on a tooth?

There are toothpastes specially designed to promote tooth whitening. Opt for those that contain fluoride and baking soda. Indeed, fluoride is known for the important role it plays in the prevention of dental caries. A low fluoride content can demineralize the enamel and weaken the enamel. You can learn more about the subject by reading our article on fluoride and its potential dangers . 🌡

So make sure that the whitening products you buy contain it. But be careful, be sure to use low doses, because excess fluoride can lead to diseases such as dental fluorosis and even the appearance of those brown spots you dread.

What products contain fluoride?

Much of the fluoride in the body comes from drinking water (bottled or tap). Others are found in shellfish and fish. 🐟

Ultimately, it should be remembered that like yellow and black spots, brown or brown ones can be removed. You just need to find the right solution . You can opt for treatment at your dentist or try natural remedies. 🥼
However, if you observe black lines on your teeth , the treatment will not be quite the same...
