Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I went to the dentist. I have dark brown stains on my teeth. He said it is from drinking fizzy drink and the only way to fix it is veneers. Is this true?

Answered by Dr. Tooba Qazi

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, these are now internal stains that cannot be simply removed through scaling. One of the causes for these kinds of stains is fizzy drinks, others may include taking Iron supplements for long, or may be due to the use of extra fluoride in water during childhood like the use of salty water in some part of your age, use of alcohol, smoking or tobacco. All these may lead to these internal stains.

Treatment options for these are composite veneers like economical or veneers of zirconia which are expensive but very good in aesthetics. No need for capping is there as staining is just around gums area (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Feel free to ask if you have any further questions regarding it. Stay happy and blessed. Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
