Dental Bonding: A conservative option

 

The beauty of bonding is that little or no tooth structure needs to be removed to allow the composite resin to adhere to the dentin and enamel. For this reason, composite resin bonding is most often the technique of choice when esthetic dental restorative treatment is required.

Teeth Staining Offenders

The color in these foods and beverages comes from chromogens, intensely pigmented molecules with an unfortunate penchant for latching on to dental enamel. But the presence of chromogens isn’t the only thing that determines the staining potential of foods and beverages.

Acidity is another factor. Acidic foods and beverages -- including some that are not brightly colored -- promote staining by eroding the dental enamel, temporarily softening teeth and making it easier for chromogens to latch on. And finally, a family of food compounds known as tannins promotes staining by further boosting chromogens’ ability to attach to enamel.
