Although just about every type of toothpaste contains abrasive ingredients designed to help scrub away stains, whitening toothpaste also contains polishing agents or special chemicals that make them more powerful. With regular brushing, these products do have the potential to lighten teeth a few shades, depending on the cause of tooth discoloration. Red wine, dark soft drinks including cola and Irn-bru, red fruits such as cherries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, coffee and tea are just a few of the biggest culprits for staining. If possible, cut down on these foods and drinks. The more you have, the more your teeth will stain. We&8217re not saying cut them out all together (we wouldn&8217t manage that either!) we&8217re just saying to try and enjoy them in moderation. Research is inconclusive as to whether or not teeth whitening can remove tetracycline stains. Most dental professionals agree that everyone can benefit to some degree however it is very difficult to fully mask/remove all of the tetracycline stain. It&8217s recommended to consult with your dentist for a professional opinion.
