Yellowing teeth can be quite the nuisance. Even though it may not be a serious oral health issue it can still pretty serious, and we get that. Having a great smile is something that everyone aims for and having yellowing teeth can truly diminish your smile as well as your confidence. Changing those yellowing teeth starts with finding the root cause and then tweaking your dental care routine, and even possibly a whitening treatment from the Brush Dental team in Seattle.

1. Smoking

If smoking wasn’t already a bad habit, it also leaves a yellowish/brownish surface stain on your teeth as well as your nails. This is the perfect time to ditch this bad habit and preserve your smile.

2. Food

There are a wide array of foods that can leave long lasting marks on your teeth. This is due to the acidity of the foods, the color of the foods, and more. If your diet is high in acidic foods like tomato sauces, vinegrettes and the like it’s time to cut back and give your teeth fighting chance.

3. Drink

One of the most common culprits to yellowing teeth are the substances we drink. We often forget how significantly the drinks we consume play a role on our teeth health. If you find yourself being a coffee, soda, wine, or tea connessuir it’s time to change your habits. Changing your habits doesn’t mean giving up your favorite drinks, it could just mean making sure you opt for a straw, rinse with water after drinking, and so on.

4. Fluorisis

One of the things we seem to forget is that though fluoride is good for our teeth, too much of it can have an adverse effect. A deposit of yellow or brownish spots also known as fluorosis occurs when an abundance of fluoride is exposed to the teeth via toothpaste, water, etc.

5. Wear

As we get older and our enamel has been tested a time or two by the acidic foods, dark beverages, and all the other in betweens it should come as no surprise that our teeth take a large hit. This wear and tear does cause our teeth to yellow. This is why it’s important to remember and uphold your oral care routine.
