Why Do Our Teeth Lose Their Whiteness? 

There are various reasons why our teeth lose their whiteness. The drinks and foods we consume daily, structural disorders encountered during the formation of teeth, antibiotics exposed in the womb or during infancy can cause discoloration in the teeth. Discoloration of teeth is divided into two as internal discoloration and external discoloration. Internal discoloration is staining that penetrates into the tooth that does not go away with brushing. In such cases, whitening gives positive results. External discoloration is the staining of the outer surface of the tooth after cola, tea, coffee and some dyed foods.
