Why Do Teeth Become Yellow or Stained?
Ever wondered why some teeth become yellow, brown, or stained over time? In this educational talk, Dr. Winfred explains one of the major causes behind tooth discoloration especially in regions with high fluoride exposure such as Arusha, Singida, and Shinyanga.
Excess fluoride in drinking water can affect tooth development even before a baby is born. According to Dr. Winfred, when mothers are exposed to high fluoride levels during pregnancy, it may interfere with proper bone and tooth formation in children.
Dental fluorosis can cause teeth to appear yellow, brown, or stained depending on the level of fluoride exposure during development.
The severity of discoloration often depends on how much fluoride exposure occurred during childhood development. Weak enamel can also absorb stains more easily from food, drinks, and daily habits later in life.
