Many actions contribute to the development of tooth stains: What you eat and drink, how you care for your teeth, and lifestyle habits all play a role in the appearance of your teeth. These are common causes of yellow teeth:
If you want to keep your teeth looking their best, you have to take good care of them. Practice proper daily oral hygiene, including twice-daily teeth brushing with a clean toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste, daily flossing, and rinsing with anti-bacterial mouthwash. Scale back on your consumption of staining beverages, such as coffee, red wine, black tea, dark-colored soda, and fruit juices. The pigments in these drinks seep into the microscopic ridges of your tooth enamel to stain your teeth and cause discoloration. Sugary foods should also be consumed in moderation. Sugar reacts with the bacteria in your saliva to produce an acid that weakens your tooth enamel, making it more susceptible to staining.
You don’t have to live with teeth stains! Cosmetic dentistry treatments like teeth whitening and dental bonding remove or cover stains to restore the brightness of your smile. Teeth whitening uses bleaching gel that penetrates tooth enamel to remove deep stains that brushing cannot. Dental bonding can be used to cover deep, intrinsic stains that cannot be treated with teeth whitening.
