Why our teeths are yellow
Common cause of yellow teeth
Yellow teeth can be a cosmetic concern for many
people, as they can affect the overall appearance of your smile. There are many
reasons that your teeth can become stained or yellow. These include drinks
(coffee, tea & red wine), foods (heavily coloured or dark foods), tobacco,
wear of teeth and the natural ageing process. With all of the amazing
restaurants and cafes along Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn, this could happen
quite quickly! There are several reasons
why teeth may become yellow,
1. Smoking:
Smoking and other forms of tobacco
u use can cause teeth to become yellow or brown due to the chemicals in tobacco.
2. Age:
As you get older, the enamel on your teeth naturally wears down, which can make teeth appear more yellow.
3. Poor oral hygiene:
Failing to brush and floss your teeth regularly can allow plaque and tartar to build up, which can cause teeth to become discolored.
4. Certain foods and drinks:
Foods and drinks that are high in pigments, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and
dark-colored berries, can stain teeth over time.
