Stained Teeth: There is a Cure

by ConfiSmile

Stained teeth are a very common dental problem that makes a lot of people to feel uncomfortable when they have to talk or smile, due to the color of their teeth. However stained teeth depending on their cause have a number of treatments.

Types of Tooth Discoloration:

Extrinsic Tooth Discoloration

• Colored organic compounds from some foods and drinks – tea, coffee, red wine, blueberries, curry and other – are absorbed on teeth enamel, resulting in yellow teeth.
• Other foods that contain much chlorophyll may result in green stains.
• Common dental restorative materials, as the amalgam in silver-colored fillings, may turn adjacent areas of teeth black or gray.
• Prescribed antiseptic mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine are associated with causing yellow-brown stains on teeth. Repeated use of stannous fluoride can result in light brown or yellowish teeth stains. Iodine-containing solution medications may also cause similar stains.
• Metallic stains can be caused by metallic salts, such as in iron supplements.
• Other habits as smoking or chewing tobacco are also responsible for stained teeth, creating brown to black stains on the tooth surface.
• Accumulation of dental plaque and tartar may alter the natural appearance of the tooth and lead to yellow teeth.

Intrinsic Tooth Discoloration

• Systemic disorders (as alkaptonuria, erythropoietic porphyria, hyperbilirubinemia etc.) are also causes of stained teeth. Enamel hypoplasia causes tooth discoloration and pitting of the enamel. In rare cases, children with dentinogenesis imperfecta are born with gray, amber or purple discolorations.
• In fluorosis, chalky white spots or brown marks on teeth are caused by excessive fluoride intake. (tooth whitening does not actually remove the white spots but lightens the background so they are less noticeable).

Are you “Hungary” for a new smile?

Medical tourism is a growing trend among Americans, Canadians, and Europeans who are looking for medical procedures that cost less money and can be scheduled right away.  However, have you heard of dental tourism?  Dental Tourism involves traveling to another location to seek affordable dental care, dental treatment, surgery or dental procedures, which are normally expensive in one’s own country.  Flat world, disappearing borders, and the ease of travel today make dental tourism easily accessible and attractive from anywhere. 

While the exact statistics on dental tourism aren’t available, it is estimated that over one million people from around the world travel to get dental treatment such as cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, crowns, and root canals abroad.  There are a number of countries such as India, Thailand, Costa Rica, Hungary, Panama, South Africa, and Mexico that are marketing low cost, high quality dental services to medical tourists.  

Dental tourism is rapidly growing in the United States due to the fact that over 108 million Americans and 25 million American children lack dental insurance.  As children grow to be adults they may have a number of serious dental problems that need significant dental attention.  Poor dental care can lead to serious health problems.  The lack of dental insurance compels us to pay outrageously high dental bills from our pocket for even the simplest of procedures.  To address cost, availability, and quality, dental tourism is gaining momentum as low cost, high quality alternative. 

Even if you have medical or dental insurance and want a dental implant or any cosmetic dental procedure, you may find that your dental insurance at work does not cover high-priced dental implant or dental cosmetic services.  If you look at the fine print, you will find that most employers offer dental insurance that only offers routine dental coverage as part of a package of health benefits.
