Abstract
A survey is described in which extrinsic staining of teeth was assessed by practicing dentists during routine clinical examinations. Habits information was also supplied by patients. Extrinsic staining is markedly influenced by smoking habits and age; males tend to have more staining than females. The effect of tea and coffee consumption was not pronounced. No effect attributable to the use of a stannous fluoride toothpaste was observed.Keywords
