Here are some causes of yellow teeth that you need to know, according to various sources:
1. Stains from food and drinks
Coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks and dark colored juices can leave stains on your teeth.Likewise with tomato sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and dark chocolate.
The color of these foods and drinks is difficult to remove just by brushing your teeth.
2. Genetic factors
Tooth color can also be influenced by genetic factors.There are people who naturally have darker colored teeth.If you were not born with bright white teeth, the yellow color may be difficult to remove even if you brush your teeth diligently.
In cases like this, additional treatment such as teeth whitening may be a solution.
3. Age
As we age, the tooth enamel layer will thin.As a result, the yellow layer of dentin underneath will become increasingly visible.
This natural process makes teeth appear yellower over time.
4. Illness and medical treatment
Some medical conditions can affect the color of enamel and dentin.Therapies such as head and neck radiation or chemotherapy can cause tooth discoloration.
In addition, infections during pregnancy can also affect the development of the baby’s tooth enamel.
5. Medicines
Tetracycline and doxycycline antibiotics given to children under 8 years can cause tooth discoloration.Mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride, as well as some antihistamines, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications can also stain teeth.
6. Smoking
The nicotine and tar in tobacco penetrate the pores of the enamel, leaving yellow or brown stains that are difficult to remove.Quitting smoking is not only good for your health, but it also helps you get a brighter smile.
7. Ineffective whitening toothpaste
Many whitening toothpastes only work on the surface of the teeth.Some even contain abrasive ingredients that can damage enamel if used continuously.
If your toothpaste isn’t working, it may be time to try a professional whitening treatment from your dentist.
Knowing the cause of yellow teeth even though you brush your teeth regularly can help you find the right solution.Brushing your teeth is still important for maintaining oral health, but if the color of your teeth interferes with your appearance, consult a dentist for further treatment.
