it is the procedure which lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration.

There are 2 kinds of stains: extrinsic (on the surface of the tooth) and intrinsic (inside the tooth).

Intrinsic stains are due to high amounts of fluorides in drinking water, tetracycline antibiotics taken during pregnancy causing discolorations in the child’s teeth, trauma, pulp necrosis and hereditary conditions.

Extrinsic stains are caused by use of tobacco, smoking, red wine, tea, coffee and colas.
