What are the brownish spots that have formed between my upper back teeth?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and the attached images (attachment removed to protect patient identity); I am very sorry for the inconvenience. As a specialist, I am here to help you. The brown spots over the teeth that do not clean by brushing are stains and plaque. They are formed due to tobacco and food remnants. They form a layer over the tooth that is not getting removed upon brushing.

As your dentist, I would advise the stoppage of all form of tobacco.

I recommend -

- Scaling and oral prophylaxis.

- Use a mild mouthwash (Colgate Plax) but do not continue for an extended period. Resume again when needed.

- Colgate Visible White toothpaste.

- Rinse whenever you eat.

- Brush twice but gently and not forceful, two minutes are enough, and use a soft-bristle toothbrush.

- Use a tongue scraper and do flossing.

- Avoid sticky or sweet food as much as possible.

Follow these simple steps for a healthy smile. I hope it was helpful. Kindly let me know if any further queries; I am here to help you whenever needed.

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I went through your query. There is no hurry; you can easily wait until your normal scaling and oral prophylaxis (cleaning) appointment. Maintain oral hygiene. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and brush gently twice daily. But, I would request you to stop all form of tobacco as soon as possible. They harm dental health extensively. I hope it was helpful. Kindly let me know if any further query. I would be delighted to answer you.
