What Causes Teeth to Turn Yellow?
- Consumption of Certain Food and Beverages –Foods that have a high acidic content, such as citrus and tomato based items should be consumed in moderation. Beverages such as carbonated drinks, coffee and tea also help accelerate yellow staining.
- Thinning Enamel – When the hard, outermost white dental layer starts thinning, it exposes the underlying layer of dentin, which is naturally yellow. Abrasive toothpaste and brushes intended to help make teeth whiter often destroy the enamel and have an opposite affect on appearance.
- Nicotine and Cigarette Smoke – Smoking tobacco products causes an increase in plaque and tartar build-up. The tartar is a thin, yellow film of bacteria that is responsible for staining and can only be removed using special dental tools.
- Brushing and Oral Hygiene Habits – Most of us already know about the importance of establishing good brushing habits. Most dentists recommend everyone brush at least twice a day for 2 minutes each time using ADA approved toothpastes and brushes. If stain-causing food and drinks are left in the mouth, they will help promote yellowing.
- Natural Aging – Just as aging causes natural changes in the body, it also occurs in the mouth. Even if you’ve maintained excellent oral care habits over the years, natural yellowing will occur.
Should I Consult a Dentist for Tooth Whitening Solutions?
Any type of dental service, which includes teeth whitening, should only be recommended by a qualified dental practitioner who has conducted a thorough mouth exam. Dr. Phillipe or Dr. Hauser will discuss the best course of treatment for teeth whitening or any problems it might cause, should there be any other dental issues.
Families have come to Lakefront Family Dentistry from all across Riverside County seeking professional whitening solutions to help return their youthful smiles. Our dentists will conduct a full assessment and determine whether this solution is most appropriate.
