Can water cause my teeth to discolor?
Yes, if there is heavy mineralization in the city water it can yellow the teeth if there is heavy iron in the water, not unlike sprinklers will make the side of a home yellow from the iron in the irrigation water. There are other contaminants that can cause other colors to present as well. Home and Office Bleaching products can remove the stains. Also, regular brushing with Peroxide can reduce the stain accumulation. It is best in those areas to have your teeth cleaned and polished every 3 months instead of 6 or 12 months to help control the accumulation of the stain. Vivian DeLuca, DMD, FAGD READ MORE
