What Causes Your Teeth To Turn Yellow?

Although teeth yellowing will not harm your oral health in any way, surveys reveal that it causes people to lose their confidence. If you have yellow teeth, don’t feel bad because you can always count on teeth whitening in Fleming Island to brighten your smile!

In just a couple of sessions, you will be able to achieve the brightness you want and your self-confidence will be restored! However, it’s important to know that the effects of in-office teeth whitening do not last forever. To maintain the brightness of your smile, we recommend you avoid factors that contribute to teeth yellowing in the first place.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration? 

Certain Food and Drinks

Did you know that certain food and drinks can stain your teeth? Examples of foods that are known to stain teeth include pasta sauce, curry, and berries. The pigments present in these foods are strong enough to stain your enamel. Besides food, drinks like tea, soda, coffee, and sports drinks that contain artificial colorings are also notorious for causing tooth discoloration. Therefore, after teeth whitening, we suggest you limit your consumption of these teeth-staining food and drinks. 

Smoking

Everyone knows smoking is bad for the lungs but do you know that it’s also bad for your teeth? Apparently, smoking will leave brownish and yellowish stains on your teeth and the only way to keep these stains away is if you quit smoking. Talk to your dentist about your options. We recommend you kick the habit first before you invest in teeth whitening because if you continue to smoke, the efforts of whitening your teeth will all be for nothing.
