Extrinsic Stains

Most of us can’t begin a day without a cup of coffee or end it with a glass of wine before bed. Though these beverages are fine in moderation, they can cause stains to develop on tooth enamel. These stains are known as extrinsic stains and they are easily removed by a teeth whitening session or a professional cleaning from Dr. Christopher Emuedue of Greenville Family Dentistry.


Beverages such as coffee, wine, and tea contain pigments that can stain the teeth. Because of the location of these stains, they are easier to remove than intrinsic stains which lay deep into the dentin. Dr. Christopher Emuedue may suggest a whitening treatment depending on the discoloration. Discoloration can range from a yellowish color to a dark brown. If the patient has no interesting in a whitening session, Dr. Emuedue can improve the color of your teeth with a professional cleaning.
