In order to limit the risk of discoloured teeth, it is important to practise good dental hygiene. This includes brushing and flossing at least twice a day and regular dental checkups. Regular deep cleaning at our practice can also prevent discolouration from developing or worsening.
If you notice signs of tooth decay such as toothache, increased sensitivity or bad breath, you should book a dentist appointment as soon as possible for treatment to avoid any indications from advancing.

Depending on the level and nature of the discolouration on the teeth, there are a range of treatment options you can discuss with our expert team. These options include:
