The most common causes of tooth discoloration are environmental. For example, if you are a frequent coffee drinker or like to eat a lot of highly pigmented foods, that will affect the color of your teeth over time. Smoking, chewing tobacco, and other lifestyle choices can also have a big impact on how bright (or not) your teeth are. But what if your teeth always seem to be discolored? Could it be that your tooth discoloration is hereditary? This blog post delves into that important subject. It also offers guidance on how to achieve a brighter smile.
