Tooth Discoloration Causes

In order to effectively manage tooth discoloration, it is important to recognize the causes. These include:

Foods/Drinks: Coffee, tea, colas, wines and certain foods (e.g., potatoes, cherries, blueberries) can cause extrinsic tooth stains.
To***co Use: Smoking or chewing to***co can result in discolored teeth.
Poor Dental Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing to remove plaque and stain-producing substances can cause tooth stains.
Disease: Diseases affecting enamel and dentin can lead to tooth discoloration. Certain infections in pregnant mothers can cause tooth discoloration in the baby by affecting enamel development.
Medications: Antihistamines, antidepressants, and high blood pressure drugs can discolor teeth. Maternal use of tetracycline antibiotics during the second half of pregnancy may result in discoloration of the baby's tooth enamel. Children who take tetracycline and doxycycline antibiotics during permanent tooth development (before age eight) may experience intrinsic discoloration of the permanent teeth.
Ageing: As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth wears away, revealing the dentin's natural, yellow color. Additionally, over the years your teeth accumulate more stains and tartars, causing them to darken and discolor.
Genetics: Some lucky individuals have naturally brighter and/or thicker enamel than others.
Environment: Excessive fluoride from environmental sources, such as high fluoride levels in drinking water, or from excessive use of fluoride applications, rinses, toothpastes and oral fluoride supplements, can cause teeth discoloration.
Medical Treatments: Certain treatments can adversely affect the color of enamel and dentin layers. For example, chemotherapy, and head and neck radiation are two such treatments.
Trauma: A fall or any other injury that damages the nerves or chips/cracks the teeth can lead to discolored teeth in adults and children.

Bad Breath Solutions: Hygiene, Diet and Breath Aids

What can you do for bad breath? If you have halitosis, try these strategies:

Use Good Dental Hygiene

Simply put, good dental hygiene prevents halitosis that originates in the mouth. Food debris between your teeth and around your gums creates an ideal environment for the bacteria that cause bad breath, so you need to remove it often.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and floss between each tooth daily, if not more often. Your dentist will tell you that brushing and flossing are particularly important after high-protein meals or other meals that trigger foul breath and dehydration.

Use antiseptic mouthwash in the morning, before bedtime and after eating, to reduce halitosis-causing bacteria growth. Antiseptic mouthwash ingredients vary from one product to another and may include chlorhexidine, chlorine dioxide, zinc chloride and oils (such as eucalyptus oil).

Tongue scrapers are also useful in managing bad breath. Scrape the mucus off the back of the tongue, where bacteria may be present; do it gently, to avoid damage to the tongue.

If you have dental braces, dentures or other dental appliances, follow your dental professional's specific instructions for cleaning these appliances in order to avoid bad breath. This is especially true when it comes to appliances that you remove at night.

Maintain a Proper Diet

Diet plays a significant role in dental hygiene. Certain foods can promote saliva flow to limit the possibility of halitosis; one example is fibrous foods such as raw vegetables. And eating a healthy breakfast every morning starts saliva flow after a night's sleep when bacteria and odor tend to build up in your mouth.

Staying hydrated through sufficient water intake is also important for bad breath prevention. Sodas, juices and other drinks that are high in sugar and acid, however, will encourage growth of bacteria that cause bad breath.

Use Bad Breath Aids

Mouthwashes, mints and gum can freshen breath in the short term, but they can't prevent bad breath altogether. You may want to try these bad breath aids as well:

Straws can send sugary or sticky liquids past the teeth and tongue, so they can't stay in the mouth and house bacteria. Straws are especially useful for the elderly, small children and disabled people, for whom proper dental hygiene may be difficult.
For dry mouth sufferers, over-the-counter and prescription medications can help. Certain toothpastes, toothbrushes, mouth rinses and breath sprays are also made to relieve dry mouth. Ask your dentist which ones would be best for you.

9 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Dentist:

When selecting a dentist and corresponding dental practice based on a need for cosmetic dentistry procedures (teeth whitening, porcelain veneers) or restorative procedures (dental fillings, dental crowns), it is important to consider the following factors:

1 - Find out how long the practice has been in operation.
2 - Ask about the extent of the dentist's training and clinical experience in performing the specific procedure you may require. For example, not all dentists are trained in specific cosmetic dentistry procedures. In addition, certain procedures, such as an anterior porcelain veneer, may serve both an esthetic and functional need. A procedure that satisfies both needs might be the better option when compared with a standard functional restoration offering no esthetic benefit, but you will need to investigate which dentists have the training and experience to perform the procedure that best meets your needs.
3 - If the dentist does not perform certain procedures, ask about his referral process.
4 - Before committing yourself to a dentist, identify all the procedure options that would solve your cosmetic dental concern. Ask about the pros and cons of each option.
5 - Ask about the types of professional dental societies the dentist participates in. Some societies require dentists to take continuing education classes to keep them up-to-date on the latest procedures and technological advances in the field.
6 - Ask about the type of emergency care offered. For example, is the dentist available after hours and on weekends?
7 - If your needs include cosmetic dentistry procedures, ask to see before-and-after photos of the dentist's previous patients. Bring a photo of the result you would like to see or a picture of yourself before the need for cosmetic dentistry to help set a reasonable expectation for your procedure's outcome.
8 - Determine dental costs prior to treatment. Dental cost totals should include procedure fees, anesthesia fees, and facility fees. If you have dental insurance, chances are good that there will be some benefit coverage applicable to procedures such as preventative dental care (professional cleanings and exams) and amalgam fillings (the traditional metal fillings). Less coverage may be available for composite fillings (which have an enamel-like finish) and restorative dental work such as bridges, dentures and crowns. Your out-of-pocket costs are typically determined at the initial consultation.
9 - Is the dental team friendly and courteous? You may not want to see a dentist long term if you don't feel comfortable with the dentist's team.

Optimal Flossing Techniques and Types of Dental Floss:

Flossing your teeth is not hard, does not take much time and should be performed at least once daily. The following steps detail optimal flossing techniques for maximum effectiveness:

1 - Select the type dental floss that you prefer.
2 - Tear off a piece of floss about 18 inches long.
3 - Wrap one end of the floss around either your middle or index finger.
4 - Wrap the other end of the floss around the finger on your opposite hand.
5 - Grip the floss tightly between your thumb and finger.
6 - Gently insert the dental floss between your teeth. Be careful not to snap the floss or you could damage your gums.
7 - Gently move the floss back and forth against the tooth on both sides and underneath the gum line.
8 - Repeat this process in between all of the upper and lower teeth.
It is important to floss against the backside of a tooth even if there is no tooth behind it.

There are different types of dental floss from which to choose. Among the different kinds of floss are dental tape, waxed floss, woven floss and unwaxed floss. Your dentist can recommend which is most appropriate for you.

Nutritional Tips for Good Oral Health:

- Maintain a healthy and balanced diet centered on moderation and variety. Select foods from each of the five major food groups (breads, cereals, and other grain products; fruits; vegetables; meat, poultry, fish and beans; and milk and dairy products).
- Keep a food diary for a week. Record every item you eat and drink, especially ones that contain sugar. Compare your dietary entries to the food pyramid recommendations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) by visiting mypyramid.gov.
- Avoid "fad diets" that limit or eliminate entire food groups, which usually result in vitamin or mineral deficiencies.
- Drink plenty of water. This keeps your mouth moist and helps to wash away loose food particles.
- Limit the number of snacks between meals. Remember that each time you eat foods that contain sugar, your teeth are bombarded with acids for 20 minutes or more.
- Keep your consumption of foods containing free sugars to a maximum of four times a day.
- If you must snack, opt for healthy foods that are low in sugar and do not stick to your teeth. Cheese, raw vegetables, nuts, plain yogurt or a piece of fruit are good choices.
- When you eat fermentable carbohydrates like crackers, cookies and chips, eat them as part of your meal, instead of by themselves. Combinations of foods neutralize acids in the mouth and inhibit tooth decay.
- Drinking soda at meal times is less harmful to your teeth than drinking it alone; continuously sipping soda over time is more harmful than drinking the entire can of soda at once. To help reduce the amount of soda that comes into direct contact with your teeth, try drinking with a straw.

Gum Disease: The Signs, Symptoms and Causes of Periodontal Disease

Gum disease – also known as periodontal disease and periodontitis – is an inflammatory condition affecting the tissues surrounding a tooth, and is the leading cause of tooth loss. Gingivitis is a bacterial infection of the tissues in the mouth and potential precursor of gum disease.

Once gum disease sets in, the toxins produced by the bacteria damage the teeth's connective tissue and bone, effectively destroying them and fostering tooth loss.

The Signs of Gum Disease:
As a gum infection progresses, the bone tends to recede; the gums may or may not recede. In some cases, the root of the tooth becomes exposed, occasionally causing tooth sensitivity. Furthermore, pus may be produced, and pockets may form between the gum and tooth.

Since bone recession is not visible to the naked eye, and if left undetected, may contribute to tooth loss, it is important to visit your dentist for professional examinations and dental cleanings to identify gum disease.

Here are some common signs of gum disease you and your dentist can look for:

Bleeding gums during tooth brushing or otherwise
Sensitive, red or swollen gums
Bad breath
teeth that are loose or appear to have shifted
Causes of Gum Disease

There are a number of causes of gum disease, each of which can be corrected and controlled. The causes of gum disease include:

Improper Dental Hygiene: If plaque is not removed through daily dental hygiene practices and regular professional dental cleanings, bacteria may set in and cause gingivitis, which may eventually result in gum disease.

Organic Changes in the Mouth: Changes that occur in metabolism and hormone levels during pregnancy, puberty and menopause may affect the organic balance in the mouth, and make teeth more susceptible to gum disease.

Medical Conditions: Serious conditions that affect the body's ability to produce sugar (such as diabetes or kidney disease) may contribute to periodontal disease. Furthermore, the Center for Disease Control has found an association between certain illnesses (including diabetes, stroke and heart attack) and gum disease. Finally, medications used to treat medical conditions may produce the overgrowth of gums. Overgrown gums are more susceptible to bacteria, and therefore gum disease.

Saliva Flow Inhibitors: Certain medications that produce oral side effects or dry mouth syndrome (xerostomia) may contribute to a reduction of protective saliva flow, and potentially to gum disease. Seniors may be more susceptible to dry mouth syndrome because of the natural reduction of salivary flow associated with age.

Poor Functional Habits: Teeth grinding or clenching may impair the surrounding tissue and is a possible contributor to gum disease.
