Much like your natural teeth, tooth-colored fillings can become stained or discolored over time. If you want to avoid stained fillings and stained teeth, remember to brush and floss regularly and avoid dark-colored foods and beverages. If you do consume drinks or food that could stain your teeth and fillings, try drinking such beverages through a straw and rinsing your mouth with water afterward consuming any of these items. We will also examine your fillings at your regular appointments and can polish them along with your teeth to minimize staining.
