Stained Yellow Teeth

There are many causes of stained yellow teeth. Some of the most common include:

• Smoking or using tobacco products

The nicotine and tar in cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products can cause deep stains on teeth, making them yellow or brown.

• Drinking black coffee, carbonated soda, tea, red wine, and other acidic drinks

The pigment and acid mixture in these drinks can adhere to and break down the enamel layer of teeth, causing them to appear yellow or brown.

• Eating heavy-staining foods

Foods coloured with artificial dyes, such as candy, can leave behind unwanted stains. The pigments in these dyes are strong and can attach to your tooth enamel. Over time, this can cause your teeth to take on a yellow or brown tint.

• Poor dental hygiene

Poor oral hygiene can lead to a build-up of plaque on teeth, which can eventually cause them to become stained. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth; over time, it can harden into tartar. Tartar is difficult to remove and can only be removed by a professional cleaning. When plaque and tartar are not removed, they can cause the teeth to become discoloured.

A few home remedies can help remove stains from yellow teeth and make them look whiter.

• Baking Soda
  Baking soda is a natural teeth whitener that can remove stains from yellow teeth. Simply mix baking soda with water to form a paste and brush your teeth with it. Rinse well afterwards.
  
  
• Lemon Juice
  Lemon juice is another natural whitening agent that can remove stains from yellow teeth. Simply rub lemon juice onto your teeth and rinse well afterwards. However, this should only be done occasionally, as lemon juice is acidic and can damage tooth enamel if used too often.
  
  
• Hydrogen Peroxide
  Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful whitening agent that can remove stains from yellow teeth. Simply mix hydrogen peroxide with water and use it as a mouthwash. Be sure to rinse well afterwards.
  
  
• Eating Crunchy Fruits and Vegetables
  Eating crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and celery can help to remove stains from teeth. So, be sure to include them in your diet!
  
  

Give them a try and see which one works for you. Still, visiting a dentist is necessary to address surface discolouration and help restore the natural brightness of teeth.

Here are some disadvantages of having stained yellow teeth:

• It makes a bad impression.

If your teeth are stained or discoloured, it could give the impression that you’re not taking proper care of your mouth. It can give you an unhealthy appearance.

• It can just be plain unattractive.

When you smile, the first thing people notice are your teeth. If you have stained yellow teeth, you’ll be left with a plain and dull smile, which is not something you want when trying to impress someone.

• It makes you less confident.

There’s no sugarcoating it: Having yellow teeth can be pretty embarrassing. You may feel like everyone is staring at your teeth when you smile or talk, and it can be tough to feel confident in social situations.

If your teeth are mostly white but have some external stains or surface stains, regular brushing can help to break up and remove these stains. However, severe intrinsic stains may require professional cleaning. These types of stains are those that have penetrated deeper into the structure of the tooth. The dentist will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar and polish the teeth to improve the appearance of teeth, especially yellow stained teeth.

Schedule a consultation with us if you have concerns about your teeth or how to keep them clean and white.

• Brush your teeth regularly with fluoride toothpaste.

Brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is important. This will help eliminate bacteria in your mouth and keep plaque from building up, keeping your teeth white.

• Floss your teeth.

You need to floss or use an interdental tooth cleaner to reach parts of your teeth that a toothbrush can’t reach.

• Avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth.

Coffee, tea, red wine, blueberries, and cherries are all notorious for staining teeth, so it’s recommended to enjoy them in moderation. If you do indulge, be sure to brush your teeth afterwards. Try drinking drinks that might stain your teeth through a straw to keep them from touching your teeth as much.

• Don’t smoke cigarettes or use tobacco products.

Smoking is one of the leading causes of tooth stains. The tar and nicotine in cigarettes leave a yellowish residue on teeth that can be difficult to remove. Smokers are also more likely to develop gum disease. Quitting smoking not only helps brighten your smile, but it also benefits your health.

If you follow these tips, you can help keep your teeth healthy and white.
