Although yellow teeth are not considered as serious as other conditions, they can affect your ability to smile every single day. It is easy to change the way you eat and drink, while also improving your oral hygiene routine.\u00a0Your dentist may recommend whitening.\u00a0These are the most common causes of undesirable tinges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes the family’s tooth color is inherited.\u00a0It’s possible that one of your parents’ yellow teeth is yours. The\u00a0four colors<\/strong>\u00a0that are naturally white are reddish brown, yellow, gray, and reddish grey. This color depth can vary from light to dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teeth that have thin enamel and dentin beneath it look yellowish will appear yellow. Dentin, which is the deep yellowish to brownish substance that lies beneath the enamel of your teeth, is often responsible for the yellowing you see in the mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The thick enamel protects the dentin but doesn’t always stop the stains from building up on the surface. This is another reason for yellow, which we will discuss further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you age, enamel begins to wear away due to chewing and acid exposure from food and drinks. Teeth eventually turn yellow.\u00a0While most teeth become yellow with the loss of\u00a0enamel with age, some may turn grayish if they are exposed to a permanent food stain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The nicotine from smoking can cause an unhealthy addiction. It leaves yellowish or brownish\u00a0stains<\/strong>\u00a0in your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A wide\u00a0range of foods<\/strong>\u00a0stain teeth.\u00a0The pigments found in tomatoes, curry spices, and berries can cling to the enamel of teeth and cause staining.\u00a0Even healthy salads with balsamic vinaigrette dressing can leave a disconcerting color on your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common causes are coffee and tea, but also red and white wines. Dark and light sodas, as well as sports drinks that have artificial flavoring, are other culprits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When teeth are developing in the gums, Tetracycline antibiotics can stain them.\u00a0The\u00a0National Intitutes of Health<\/strong>\u00a0states that if your mother used antibiotics during the second half of her pregnancies or before age eight, then you could have permanent stained adult teeth and need an in-office bleaching procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fluoride is good to teeth but too much fluoride can lead to yellowish or brownish spots called fluorosis. Fluoridated water and fluoride toothpaste are the best sources of fluoride. If you are concerned that your child or you are taking too much fluoride through these sources, talk to your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An accident or other trauma can cause cracks in tooth enamel and cause damage to the interior of the tooth. This may lead to discoloration, which could indicate bleeding that requires professional attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tooth grinding can be an unconscious habit that some people develop when they are stressed, particularly while asleep. It’s also known as bruxism. This is a dangerous habit that can cause tooth enamel to weaken and yellow to the point where it cracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although yellow teeth are not considered as serious as other conditions, they can affect your ability to smile every single day.
