Intrinsic staining, on the other hand, is when the dentin, or inner part of the tooth, darkens or yellows. This can result from a variety of factors, like taking certain medications, being overexposed to fluoride when young, and chips or other trauma happening to a tooth. The combination of extrinsic and intrinsic discoloration contributes to the teeth naturally yellowing over time; not to mention, enamel gradually thins with age.

While the cause of tooth discoloration varies from one person to the next, everyone experiences some degree of staining as they get older. Fortunately, with cosmetic dental treatments, you can effectively brighten your smile, if not completely remove your teeth stains.
