  24. These include chemotherapy, some antipsychotic medicines, blood pressure medicines, and antihistamines.

  25. Are there different types of teeth stains?

  26. There are 3 different types of teeth stains that occur – extrinsic, intrinsic, and age-related stains-

  27. Extrinsic stains

  28. Extrinsic stains occur on the surface of your teeth due to dietary choices & tobacco usage.

  29. You can deal with this through regular dental cleanings & good hygiene practices.

  30. Intrinsic stains

  31. These stains go below the surface of your teeth & are difficult to deal with.

  32. Excessive fluoride use & treatments have been known to cause intrinsic staining.

  33. Age-related staining

  34. Age-related staining is inevitable as over the years, the dentin in your teeth yellows.

  35. It might not be visible at first but the coating allows the dentin to show through eventually.
