Whenever we see someone sporting a white smile, we tend to ask ourselves a question, do I smile confidently like him? Well, it all depends on how you maintain your teeth.
There are many causes of stained teeth that include direct or indirect factors involving food habits, unhygienic oral practices, or even genetic factors.
Direct Factors of Tooth Stains & Discoloration
The immediate factors such as consumption of substances like coffee, tea, wine, Soya sauce, or fruits like cherry, blueberry could contribute to the coloring of the teeth. The change in the color of the teeth happens due to the stains penetrating tooth film, causing a stain. Chewing of tobacco or smoking cigarettes could also discolor the teeth. All of us know to brush after meals are the best way to maintain oral hygiene. Due to inadequate brushing and flossing of teeth, tartar builds up over some time and gets colored by the beverages and food consumed. It is generally easy to remove stains on the surface of the teeth,
The indirect factors for discoloration of the teeth are due to the reason of the inner structure of the tooth (dentin) getting dark or yellowish. This kind of stain is a little difficult to remove. It may also be due to bleaching often. During early childhood, consumption of water with heavy content of fluoride could leave brownish stains on the teeth. The other reason could be the consumption of fluoride contained in toothpaste, unknowingly, by the child while brushing the teeth. This is known as fluorosis. A mother using tetracycline antibiotics during the pregnancy could also lead to discoloration of the teeth. Advancing age could wear away the enamel of the teeth and teeth becoming thinner, and it could exhibit the dentin’s yellow color.
” They are all very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable, especially hygienist Loan Pham. I recently got braces and my teeth look and feel great every time I leave her chair, even now with braces – she’s amazing.”

I chose Midtown Dentistry because the last time I was there (2014) I had a tooth extracted and told myself that I’d become my own dentist from that day forward. 🤦🏾♂️ In my absence from the dentist they followed up with me via email & text the entire time which I thought was very commendable. Upon arrival the receptionist Stacey was very sweet. Her wit gave me the ease I needed going into the office after such a long time. The staff was more than excellent & extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Truong was very thorough in her examination of my teeth. She took the time to explain to me everything that needed to happen to shake me back to the perfect smile I desire. I highly recommend Midtown Dentistry Summerwood location & I look forward to my next visit.read less

Ms. Stacy was so amazing and welcoming. With PPO insurance, I always dreaded getting hit with surprise bills. Here at Midtown, Stacy goes over your treatment plan and let’s you know the exact cost upfront. This eased my mind and showed me how transparent they are. Dr. Kim was so kind and informative the entire visit. I knew what to expect, I wasn’t uncomfortable at all, and there wasn’t much pain or discomfort during the cleaning. I also appreciate how they make you feel like family. I highly recommend!read less

If you’re anything like me, dentist visits are always anxiety-inducing. Thankfully, EVERYONE at Midtown Dentistry (Summerwood location) was simply delightful from the second I walked in until the second I left. Everyone I interacted with (receptionist, hygienist, assistant, doctor) took time to explain all the details of my checkup, each step of the process as they worked, and basic oral care. They were not judgmental, nor did anyone talk “at” me. The actual office is a lovely environment — clean and nicely decorated, with COVID procedures followed closely.
As if the actual visit wasn’t great enough, Dr. Truoung personally called me hours later to make sure I was feeling okay and that the numbing in my mouth had worn off.

The administrative staff is extremely kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Everything was super clean and I felt very safe there. My hygienist, Saira, was amazing! I told her how anxious I was about getting my procedure and she was so understanding and comforting. The doctor who numbed my mouth was also wonderful. As a result, I feel my overall anxiety about going to the dentist has been relieved. I would highly recommend this dentist’s office to anyone. I had a great experience.
