How to remove stubborn stains on teeth, which do not lead to a loss of tooth enamel?
There is nothing that we use our teeth for that does not cause some of loss of enamel on a microscopic scale throughout life. Acids present in all the food that we eat (acetic acid, citric acid, tannic acid, Phosphoric acid, etc) as well as tooth brushing will remove minute levels of enamel every time it comes into contact with enamel. The only option available to remove such staining is to clean and polish the teeth at the dentist. But this will also result in microscopic loss of enamel due to the polishing. But the scale of loss is much less as compared to the loss of enamel caused by the patients themselves when they use tooth powders, ash, burnt tobacco, proprietary medicines etc. The main advantage of having teeth polished regularly by a dentist is that the smooth surface obtained after polishing prevents food and stains from sticking to the teeth.
