$1,000 OFF Braces! Have you been considering using long-term antibiotics to treat acne? Have you recently been prescribed antibiotics for a health concern? If so, you may feel uncertain about how to proceed if you’ve heard rumors about antibiotics and the potential for discolored smiles. Like most instances with the human body, the answers aren’t black-and-white. Instead, some patients will respond one way to medication, while others differently. For the fast facts you’re seeking, consider some helpful information at Comfort Dental Spa.
Stains Can Occur Due To Antibiotics
If you check out the literature that comes with your medication, it’s entirely possible that “teeth staining” may be on the list.
Not All Antibiotics Cause Stains
No, it’s not all antibiotics. In addition, it’s possible that even if it’s listed as a potential side effect, you will never see any change in the color of your teeth. In general, drugs that include this problem follow Minocycline, tetracycline, and doxycycline.
You Can Repair The Damage
Maybe you choose to move forward with this type of medication and you end up with stains. Maybe you didn’t have any idea that discolored smiles can result from taking certain prescribed pills. Fortunately, it’s repairable.
Veneers Are Suggested
To fix the problem, the bleach that we usually apply to teeth with stains is not going to suffice. This is because the discoloration that has impacted your smile is too deep for the formulation to reach and remove. Instead, we suggest camouflaging the issue with the use of porcelain veneers. Your discolored smile will instantly look bright and beautiful again.
