Remove stains from your teeth!!!!!!!



A smile showing a wonderful set of good teeth makes your face light up like a Christmas tree star and the radiance you let out in such a smile can win you success in almost everything you do. Such things do not come to us easily if we are not spending time to clean and to take care of our teeth. Teeth need protection from enemies like stains and many other aspects that deteriorate their elegance greatly.

People with very good dental health are often subjected to tooth stains in the later part of their lives; all the people in this world are likely to be affected by tooth stains and discoloration. The stains on the teeth may be of two types, namely, extrinsic and intrinsic stains. There are more than fifty ways by which the teeth can get stained, according to researchers in this field.

They state that the intrinsic staining of the teeth are not due to the external factors; rather they are found due to the internal reasons like tooth decay, caries in the tooth interiors and necrosis of the gums. Black spots on the surface of the teeth are due to the presence of caries and the main damage in this is to the enamel part of the teeth and to the outer appearance of the same. Black coloured cavities are the next stage of teeth, affected by decay and they will be followed by the discolouration of the entire outer part of the teeth and emission of foul breath.

The tooth stains due to decay are the work of chromogenic bacteria, of which the main species is called the Actinomyces species. They produce large amounts of hydrogen sulphide which in turn combines with the saliva to form concentrated ferric sulphide, thereby decreasing the health of your teeth. They are the black stains on the teeth, which acts as an agent for demoralising your character. Chipping of the teeth and severe stains in the form of ferric sulphide will result in the death of the pulp region at the base of the teeth.

Drinking water with very high fluoride content will cause fluorosis of the teeth; the fluoride content in the water should be less than one part per million if we need to preserve the elegance of our teeth. Also medicines or drugs, in some cases, will result in decrease in the health of the gums, tooth stains or decay, followed by mottling of the teeth and discolouration of the same to brown colour in particular. Cavity filling should be done with care, so as to avoid staining the teeth in the procedure.

Speaking of the stains on the teeth of humans, we need to discuss about the next method of staining called as the extrinsic type of stains. They are done by external factors like the smoking of cigarettes (caffeine), consumption of excess wine, alcohol, medication and drugs. They can be treated normally with the facilities of the modern world.

Teeth filling with special plaster, silver or gold will help intrinsic stains as there is no other way of growing the decayed part after removal. Never use tobacco or tea in excessive amounts, thereby limiting the same from damaging the teeth even more
