Are you noticing yellow or brown stains on your teeth? You’re not alone. Many people in Windsor ask us how to remove stains and get a brighter, whiter smile. At Willistead Family Dental, we help patients every day reverse tooth discoloration and regain confidence in their smile.

Common Causes of Tooth Stains

To treat tooth stains, it’s important to know what causes them. The most common reasons include:

• Coffee, tea, and red wine

• Smoking or tobacco use

• Certain foods (like berries, soy sauce, or tomato-based sauces)

• Poor oral hygiene

• Aging and thinning enamel

• Certain medications (like tetracycline)

How to Remove Teeth Stains

Here are the most effective ways to remove or reduce tooth stains:

1. Professional Teeth Whitening

The fastest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is with in-office whitening. We use professional-grade bleaching agents that can lighten your smile by several shades in just one visit.

Did you know? In-office whitening at our Windsor dental clinic is safer and more powerful than over-the-counter kits—and delivers immediate results.

2. At-Home Whitening Trays

We also offer custom whitening trays with professional gel for you to use at home. These work more gradually over 1–2 weeks and are a great option for people who prefer flexibility.

3. Whitening Toothpaste (for Mild Stains)

Some whitening toothpastes can help with surface stains, but they won’t change the natural color of your teeth or remove deeper discoloration.

4. Dental Cleaning

Stains from plaque and tartar can often be removed during your regular dental cleaning. If it’s been more than 6 months since your last cleaning, schedule one soon.

Preventing Future Stains

• Brush and floss daily

• Rinse your mouth after consuming staining foods or drinks

• Use a straw for dark liquids like iced coffee or tea

• Avoid smoking or tobacco

• Schedule cleanings every 6 months at our Windsor dental office
