hello Dr safeer how are you sir?
sir i had a brown/Yellowish front upper incisor tooth ( i think its because of antibiotics) i tired a lot of tooth paste but no luck.
its basically an intrinsic stain.
is it possible to remove this stain with a tooth whitening process or not? as i am completely upset now about my teeth because i am only 21 years of age and i cannot even smile properly. so what would you suggest for me sir? please reply to me through my email address. yours sincerely.

Hi. Thanks for your question. It is likely tetracycline induced staining.
If it is the type of staining that creates dense white lines on the teeth then whitening will help otherwise no chance of improvement .

Whitening toothpaste is abrasive and does not change the colour – never use them
Your other options will be veneers or accepting the appearance. I hope this helps.
