Medical Conditions - Intrinsic Stains

Intrinsic stains are stains that affect the inner layer of the tooth. These stains are seen on the dentin, the most rigid layer that remains beyond the enamel. The causes of intrinsic stains are increased exposure to fluoride, oral trauma that causes internal bleeding, intake of tetracyclines, and natural discoloration of dentin due to aging. Intrinsic stains do not respond to teeth whitening treatments. The other treatment options are porcelain veneers, dental bonding, lumineers, and dental crown.
