Cause of tooth discoloration
There are many cause of tooth discoloration. Follow are the main cause of tooth discoloration:
• Tetracycline stain this type of discoloration cause by patients who have tetracycline by oral when they are in childhood when they are constructing there permanent tooth in the mouth. These kind of stain will have yellow to brown or grey color.
• Fluorosis this type of stain is cause by having too much fluoride in childhood. As you may know that fluoride uptake can make tooth to be stronger but we have to have it in normal level which should be around 1ppm(part per million) in tapping water. Fluorosis happen in the case that taking too much of fluoride. This will cause the tooth have yellow stain and may be white decalcified spot. In some degree will lost some of the enamel and get dark yellow to brown stain.
• Enamel Hypoplasia this is in the case that tooth has no enamel by disorder of construction of enamel. Tooth will have yellow to brown stain with no enamel.

We can bleach from dark yellow to very white teeth in just an hour of Inoffice Bleaching or 3 weeks of Home Vital Bleaching Technic. The Brown stain from tetracycline or yellow stain from Fluorosis can be bleach too but getting more difficult than normal yellow stain. But almost every tooth has yellow stain to respond with bleaching technic. Grey stain from tetracycline is the most difficult one so in the case that have the gray stain may be not suitable for Bleaching. The most advantage of Bleaching is it is a very conservative technic. We can get a whiter teeth without touching any of the tooth material.
In the case that we cannot bleach well or the patients want the perfectly white teeth we have to choose the Porcelain Veneer Technic.
