What is Teeth Staining?
Tooth discoloration is a frequently encountered phenomenon that can arise due to various factors over time. Beneath the safeguarding enamel, lies the comparatively delicate dentin, which becomes increasingly perceptible with age as the outer layer of the tooth thins, revealing the yellowish hue of the dentin.
