1. Extrinsic stain 2. Intrinsic Stain

Extrinsic stain means the accumulation of chromatogenic substance on the tooth surface. This type of strain occurs due to tobacco use, poor oral hygiene, ingestion of chromatogenic food, and drinks. With time this type of stain becomes darker and persistent. It can be removed by oral prophylaxis and bleaching if required.

Intrinsic stain:

An intrinsic stain is a stain that occurs interior of the teeth. This type of stains caused by aging, enamel micro-cracks, tetracycline medication, excessive fluoride ingestion, severe jaundice in infancy, dental caries, thinning of the enamel layer, traumatized tooth, etc. Intrinsic stains cannot be removed by oral prophylaxis. Only bleaching of teeth is required for a good result.

Vital tooth bleach:

The wanted result can be achieved in a single sitting, but more sitting may be needed for better results. A 35% concentration of hydrogen peroxide is used for bleaching.

At-home bleaching:

It is a commonly practiced technique as whitening the teeth at home is possible. Bleaching gel is applied in the teeth along with a custom-fabricated mouthguard is worn at night for at least 2 weeks.
