Learn about foods that stain your teeth as explained by our dentist in Mississauga and the solutions available

any patients in the Mississauga, ON area want their dentist to explain to them how to achieve and maintain a healthy and attractive smile. When discoloration, staining, and yellowing become such a problem that patients are hiding their teeth from others when they laugh, talk, and smile, it may be time for these patients to learn more about the foods that stain their teeth and find ways to counteract this discoloration. Having a whiter, brighter smile is not only for the Hollywood elite, but can be enjoyed by patients in the area from a quality cosmetic dentist such as Dr. Rina Kotecha of Dentistry on 10.

What foods stain your teeth?

First, it is important for patients to understand why their teeth have become dull and discolored. Sometimes, darker teeth are a genetic issue that is completely out of one’s control. However, if patients used to have whiter teeth and they are now noticing staining on the enamel, it may be time to consider the foods and beverages that may be causing discoloration of the teeth. Dr. Rina Kotecha explains to her patients the habits, foods, and drinks that are often associated with teeth discoloration. They include:

  • Dark teas
  • Coffee
  • Berries
  • Curry
  • Tomato sauces
  • Red wines
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Citrus
  • Candies
  • Sodas
  • Smoking
  • Chewing tobacco

Over time, many of these foods and drinks will cause white teeth to become dull or yellowed, and this can be a problem for patients who are self-conscious about their appearance and want their smile to look its best. This is when patients need to work with a dentist who can explain ways of restoring their whiter teeth once again.

How you can improve your smile

Dr. Rina Kotecha finds that many patients start in the oral health care aisle of their local drugstore and consider the advantages of using at-home teeth bleaching kits. This may include special toothpastes, whitening strips, or even trays and gels. For mild discoloration, many of these may be effective enough for some of our patients. However, some individuals cannot achieve the results they want with this treatment alone. This is when they consider working with a dental professional at Dentistry on 10 to learn more about in-office whitening systems.

At Dentistry on 10, we provide one treatment for patients who are serious about achieving results that are noticeable and long-lasting. We offer LED teeth whitening systems that work on the tooth enamel while patients relax in the treatment chair. It is common for our patients to experience whitening up to eight shades whiter in just one appointment. Instead of waiting for gradual results as experienced by over-the-counter treatment options, patients can leave the office an hour or two after they arrive with a brilliantly rejuvenated smile!

Our LED teeth whitening system is completely safe, effective, and is administered by a dedicated dental professional to monitor the process from start to finish. We can educate patients on how the process works so they feel at ease through the treatment, and we find that many of our patients are pleasantly surprised with the results. Some even feel as though their expectations have been surpassed when they see how beautiful their smile is after one session. Patients may choose to whiten their teeth with this method every six months when they arrive for their routine dental cleaning and examination to maintain the results for a lifetime!

Enjoy a brilliant beautiful smile today!

At Dentistry on 10, Dr. Rina Kotecha and her team of professionals provide a solution for patients who are serious about brightening their teeth and enjoying a whiter, brighter smile! Contact her today to learn more about her LED teeth whitening system and find out how you can achieve the smile of your dreams with this and other cosmetic dentistry solutions.
