Types of Stained Teeth
There are 2 types of stained teeth.
Extrinsic stains are superficial stains caused by food, drinks, lifestyle, and hygiene habits. They appear yellow and spread out over your entire smile.
Intrinsic stains are deep in your tooth and are the result of more serious dental challenges. This type of stain is small and very dark or light and may require treatment outside of whitening to correct.

Should I Stop Drinking Coffee, Wine, & Soda?
Although cutting coffee and other dark beverages from your diet can help prevent or stop the advancement of tooth staining, it’s probably not the most exciting solution for you.
There are a few easier (more practical) steps you can take to avoid staining when enjoying these types of beverages:
Rinse your mouth with water after drinking
Add some milk to your tea or coffee — this helps neutralize stain-causing acids
Use a straw when drinking cold/iced beverages like iced tea or fizzy drinks
Make sure to brush twice a day and floss daily
Invest in an electric toothbrush
What’s the Best Way to Fix Stained Teeth?
The first step is determining what type of tooth stains you’re dealing with. From there, you can determine the best solution.
More often than not, in-office whitening treatments or a professional take-home product will be just what you need.
If you’re dealing with a few other challenges, treatments like fillings, crowns, veneers may offer the best results for your smile and health.
