What Makes My Teeth Yellow?
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished you had whiter teeth, you’re not alone. The first thing many people would change about their appearance would be their smile. The good news is that your dream smile is possible to achieve. Thanks to teeth whitening products, good oral hygiene, and Ridge View Dental’s limited-time $75 Whitening for Life promotion, you are not far from a dazzling smile.
The first thing you should do to achieve that dream smile is to identify the things in your diet or lifestyle that is causing your teeth to stain. This includes things like:
Highly pigmented foods. Certain foods such as berries, tomatoes, and candy can stain teeth because they contain something called tannins, a chemical known for its discoloring properties.
Colored beverages. Drinks that are darkly colored can also discolor teeth. Habitually drinking red wine, coffee, and black tea can make your teeth yellow when it sits on your teeth all day.
Smoking. Not only is smoking bad for your overall health, but it can also affect your dental hygiene. It can cause mouth cancers and gum disease in some cases. A noticeable effect of smoking is how much it stains teeth.
Poor oral hygiene. Without proper brushing and flossing habits, teeth will develop plaque and tartar, which causes discoloration and can be difficult to remove.
If you want to brighten up your smile, there are many effective over-the-counter methods, like whitening strips, mouthwashes, and toothpaste. The best long-term, long-lasting solution, however, is a consistent brushing and flossing routine.
