Teeth imperfections, such as yellow stains, brown spots, or chalky patches, are often not just cosmetic concerns. They can signal serious health conditions. Dental expert Allen Zhang emphasizes that regular check-ups using advanced tools can help identify these issues early. Yellow stains might indicate liver disease while dull grey shades can signify previous trauma or systemic conditions like celiac disease. Brown spots can forewarn tooth decay and brown streaks may relate to excessive fluoride intake. Attention to these signs can prevent larger health problems down the line and encourage proactive dental care.
'Simple tools like dental intraoral cameras make it easier to spot colour changes before they develop into serious problems.'
'Your teeth can reveal early warning signs if you know what to look for,' Allen Zhang, a dental technologist and founder of ProDENT, said.
Brown spots on your teeth - apart from being unsightly - can also be early warning signs of tooth decay, Mr Zhang said.
A major cause of fluorosis is the inappropriate used of fluoride-containing dental products such as toothpaste and mouth rinses.
