Wrong assumption: You assume that brushing and flossing prevents staining.. Not true. That's like thinking that if you eat healthy foods, you will never get sick... Also not true. Speak to your dentist regarding whitening options for your stains.

Many reasons.: Teeth can appear to be "stained" for a variety of reasons. The color can be a natural genetic color. They may have absorbed a high level of Fluoride or a medication like tetracycline with being formed. If the stain can be removed by a professional cleaning, any brushing and flossing, while well intended, may not be frequent enough or utilizing an effective technique. Ask your hygienist

Tooth "staining": 2 types. Extrinsic, from outside the tooth. Responds well to good oral hygiene and routine professional cleanings. Often caused by highly pigmented foods. The other kind is intrinsic, from inside the tooth, resulting in a natural darkening with age. Responds well to Dentist directed brightening procedures. Talk your problem over with your Dentist for an individualized answer.
