A bright, white smile is appealing to most everyone. Having
a smile you feel confident in can boost self-esteem, improve your desire to
socialize and help your overall appearance. Yellowing teeth can be a source of
embarrassment and negative self-image.
Here are some of the top causes and solutions for yellow teeth.
CAUSES:
Nature - Sometimes it’s just genetic. Some people have teeth that naturally have a yellowish tone in color. The layer below our white enamel, dentin, is yellow. If your enamel is not well mineralized, it may become translucent and allow the yellow dentin to show through.

Aging - Teeth can often yellow with age. As enamel wears thin and long term exposure
to staining food and drink takes it toll, once white teeth can become
yellowed.
Dental Hygiene – This is the most common cause of yellowing
teeth. Simply not caring for teeth
properly with brushing, exams and cleanings can leave your smile lacking in
brightness.
SOLUTIONS:
Toothpaste - Advances in effective whitening toothpastes have been pretty amazing. Choosing a reputable, well reviewed whitening toothpaste can make your smile noticeably whiter. Ask your dentist to recommend a whitening toothpaste that is also good for protecting and cleaning your teeth as well.

Brushing & Flossing - Brushing at least twice a day and
flossing daily will help to keep your mouth clean and lessen the staining
effects of certain food and drinks.

make your smile several shades whiter. Both take home and in office
