Nowadays, the million-dollar question on everyone's lips is, "Can stained teeth be whitened?" Let us put your concerns to rest. The answer is an unequivocal yes!

Stained teeth can be whitened by breaking down discoloration using whitening agents, which penetrate tooth enamel to target and remove both surface and deep-set stains.  

While there are numerous factors causing teeth staining, we at SNOW have a vast array of over-the-counter whitening products to turn your teeth from stained to stunning after just a few uses.

Let's embark on this informative journey together! 

What this article covers:

What Causes Teeth Staining?

Teeth staining is a common concern, and understanding its root causes can help in addressing it effectively. Our findings show that various factors, from our diet to our lifestyle choices, can lead to discolored teeth.

Types Of Teeth Staining

Based on our observations, teeth stains typically fall into two categories: intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external).

Intrinsic Teeth Staining

This type of staining occurs within your tooth. It's deeper and usually appears as a yellow or brownish discoloration.

Intrinsic stains are often due to factors such as:

  • Aging
  • Dental trauma
  • Taking certain antibiotics, antihistamines, and high blood pressure medications

For a comprehensive whitening regime, we highly recommend our cleaner smile teeth whitening kit and whitening electric toothbrush. They both utilize our innovative blue and red LED light and sonic technologies to accelerate the whitening process while supporting healthy gums.

Together, they use a targeted single tooth whitening approach by going beyond the surface and tackling deeper tooth stains - giving you a whiter and more radiant smile without teeth whitening sensitivity after the fact.

Extrinsic Teeth Staining

This is the staining that happens on the surface of your teeth. The main cause of it is:

  • Consuming stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries
  • Using tobacco
  • Poor dental hygiene

Over time, these factors can cause plaque and tartar to accumulate and diminish the natural whiteness of your teeth.

That's why we recommend SNOW's over-the-counter whitening products, especially designed to tackle teeth stains like bleaching a dead tooth or whitening root canal tooth without damaging your enamel and gums.

For instance, our whitening strips and whitening tooth powder are outstanding at gently lifting surface stains caused by staining foods, drinks, and lifestyle choices to give you a whiter and healthier smile over time.
