three main types of teeth stains. They are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Extrinsic Stains:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These are your fairly simple, surface-level stains. They\u2019re often caused by certain types of food and drink, tobacco use, or, sometimes, just plain poor oral hygiene habits. The bad news is that extrinsic stains are common. The good news? These stains on the enamel can be dealt with more easily than the other two primary types of tooth stains.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Intrinsic Stains:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These types of stains are trickier to address. Intrinsic stains are more deeply-ingrained below the surface of the teeth in the dentin layer. Wondering why that whitening toothpaste didn\u2019t make a difference on your stained teeth? You might be dealing with intrinsic tooth stains, which can result from trauma, root canal treatment, and fluorosis. More sophisticated methods are needed to counteract these stains.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Age-Related Stains:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To some extent, stained teeth are unavoidable throughout a lifetime. This is because dentin naturally yellows over time.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/crest.com\/en-us\/oral-health\/conditions\/teeth-stains\/teeth-stains-causes-types-how-remove-teeth-stains\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As toothpaste giant Crest notes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, enamel also thins as teeth age, allowing yellowing dentin to show through. This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that older people are doomed to yellow teeth, but they are almost certainly more at risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth noting that it\u2019s rare to just have one type of stained teeth, the different types of stains can work in tandem and compound one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Teeth Get Stained<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teeth can get stained in a variety of ways. Here are some of the most common reasons that your smile can lose its sparkle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Various Foods<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A veritable fridge-worth of food can stained teeth. Here are 10 of the more common offenders:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Citrus fruits<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tomatoes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sweets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popsicles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soy sauce<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curry<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blueberries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackberries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pomegranates<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t have to avoid all the food above to keep your teeth white. But keeping in mind what types of food can cause stains can be a helpful tool when learning how to prevent future stains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Drinks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liquids can be equally damaging to your enamel and lead to stained teeth. Here are some drinks that can lead to tooth discoloration:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juices made from any of the foods above<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soda (which contain dyes and acids that can stain teeth)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee (which has tannins that can cause discoloration)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tea (with tannins that discolor teeth at a higher rate than coffee)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcohol (people experiencing alcohol use disorder<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/dental-and-oral-health\/what-does-alcohol-do-to-your-teeth\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tend to have higher plaque levels and are 3x more likely to experience tooth loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine (which also has tannins and,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/the-goods\/2018\/12\/18\/18144794\/what-causes-wine-teeth-explained\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as Vox noted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can stain teeth hereditarily)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with the foods above, all of the drinks here don\u2019t have to be forsaken to preserve teeth. Moderation is key, as are some other strategies we\u2019ll talk about in the next section of this article.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tobacco Products (Not Just Cigarettes)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Few things can stain teeth like tobacco, though it\u2019s not just cigarettes you need to watch out for. Even electronic cigarettes can cause stains,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deltadentalins.com\/oral_health\/smokelesstobacco.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as can smokeless tobacco<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank science for the main reason tobacco, in its various forms, is infamous for staining teeth. When combined with oxygen, nicotine turns yellow. Nicotine and tobacco tar also absorb into the tooth\u2019s natural pores. Even the way a smoker smokes can affect their teeth,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebrilliant.com\/articles\/tobacco-stains-on-teeth\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with this dental website noting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: \u201cOften, smokers will have certain teeth that become darker than others due to their method of inhalation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However it happens, brown stains on the back of teeth or brown stains on teeth near gums can be a sign that tobacco is beginning to wreak havoc on the mouth and that it\u2019s time to take action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Poor Dental Hygiene<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put simply, if you\u2019re not listening to your dentist, you\u2019re likely helping those stains get worse. Brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash all work together to keep your mouth clean and your teeth protected from stains. When you skip these steps, stains can build up quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To avoid these problems, it&#8217;s important to see a dentist frequently. If you get regular cleanings at the dentist, you will not only get rid of intrinsic stains, but also prevent issues that can stain teeth down the road.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling motivated now? Good news, because stains begin extrinsically, they can be removed if brushing, flossing, and mouthwash habits improve. If you decide to keep skipping the floss, remember when stains can get down to the intrinsic dentin level, they are far more difficult to eradicate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Trauma<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blunt trauma, such as from a fall, can cause teeth to become yellow or brown for children and lead to grey or black discoloration for adults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When tooth trauma occurs in children, only the baby teeth are typically affected and healthy adult teeth grow in eventually. It\u2019s usually just a matter of playing the waiting game to have a fully white smile again\u2014with a pediatric dentist weighing in, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Unlucky Genes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-1024x620.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-300x182.webp 300w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-768x465.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-370x224.webp 370w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-1010x612.webp 1010w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-470x285.webp 470w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02.webp 1276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3644 webpexpress-processed\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-1024x620.jpg\" alt=\"Genetics and tooth stains: get whiter teeth\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-1024x620.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-768x465.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-370x224.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-1010x612.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02-470x285.jpg 470w, https:\/\/blog-2020.opencare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/02-Stained-Teeth-How-to-Prevent-and-Clean-02.jpg 1276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to stained teeth, some people are just unlucky.
