Pigmentation on teeth: causes, prevention, and effective removal
0
Pigmentation on teeth is caused by external factors and represents surface impurities. These stains can be removed during a visit to the dental hygienist.
Are pigmentations dangerous?
Pigmentation on teeth is not harmful in itself. If you notice dark spots, there is no need to worry. However, from an aesthetic point of view, we recommend removing pigmentation to give your teeth a bright and shiny shade.
In addition, pigmentation reduces the smoothness of the tooth surface, which promotes the accumulation of dental plaque. This can gradually turn into tartar, which threatens not only the teeth, but especially the gums.

Prevention and removal
Regular visits to the dental hygienist allow for the effective removal of surface impurities. Our dental hygienists use the modern EMS Profylaxis Master device with Airflow technology, which gently removes pigmentation using fine, water-soluble powders. After treatment, the teeth remain smooth and polished, which significantly reduces the risk of pigment re-deposition.
The most common causes
The main sources of pigmentation include smoking, coffee, and black tea. Other “coloring agents” are dark foods and beverages, such as red wine.
To prevent pigmentation, we recommend rinsing your mouth with clean water after drinking coffee or tea. Frequent consumption of dark beverages increases the risk of discoloration.
Warning: Some mouthwashes contain chlorhexidine digluconate, which can cause tooth discoloration with prolonged use. Use these mouthwashes for a maximum of 14 days and check the product’s ingredients.
How can we slow down their formation?
If you are a smoker or a coffee and tea lover, here are a few recommendations:
- Follow the correct technique for cleaning your teeth – ideally the Bass technique – and use a soft toothbrush that is gentle on your gums.
- Use effective but safe whitening toothpastes, such as Swissdent, Opalescence, or Marvis Whitening.
- Avoid cheap whitening toothpastes and home “polishing” methods (lemon, baking soda, etc.), which can permanently damage the enamel.
Recommendations
If you suffer from frequent pigmentation, it is best to entrust your care to professionals who will safely remove the pigmentation and advise you on the selection of suitable aids and products to maintain the whiteness and health of your teeth.
