If you have yellow teeth, you probably hide your smile when talking or taking pictures. You might have tried a few OTC products to combat stains but didn\u2019t achieve any noticeable results. That\u2019s because all stains differ and OTC treatments don\u2019t contain professional-grade whitening agents. You\u2019re not out of options. Here\u2019s what causes yellow teeth and how you can revamp your pearly whites.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes of Stained Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth change color over the years from various factors. As a result, it requires a unique approach to turn back the clock, depending on the cause of your discoloration. Although every situation is unique, the most common causes of yellow or brown teeth include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Genetics:<\/strong> Your teeth are likely to match the color of your parents\u2019 teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Age:<\/strong> Enamel becomes thinner over time, causing more of your yellowish dentin to be visible.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Oral Hygiene:<\/strong> Poor oral hygiene habits can lead to tartar and plaque buildup, as well as stains.<\/li><li><strong>Smoking:<\/strong> Tar and nicotine can stain your enamel.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Diet:<\/strong> Frequently consuming darkly pigmented foods and drinks can stain your enamel.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treating Yellow Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a brighter smile, stop throwing money away on OTC products. Here\u2019s how you can achieve the stunning smile you desire:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Improve Your Oral Hygiene:<\/strong> Keeping your mouth clean will prevent buildup and staining while boosting your dental health. Commit to brushing your teeth at least twice daily and floss nightly.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Visit Your Dentist Regularly:<\/strong> Besides caring for your smile at home, schedule a cleaning and checkup with your dentist every 6 months.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Get Professional Help:<\/strong> A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirosaatidmd.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentist<\/a> will identify the source of your discoloration to create a personalized treatment plan, like teeth whitening. You can get your smile up to 8 shades whiter in 1 appointment with an in-office system. As an alternative, you can achieve in-office results without leaving your house using a take-home kit. Your dentist will give you everything you need to restore your smile at home. If you\u2019re interested in longer-lasting results or correcting other imperfections, ask your dentist about the benefits of veneers.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Watch What You Eat\/Drink:<\/strong> Limit your consumption of dark-colored foods and drinks. If you can\u2019t resist a cup of coffee or tea, drink it through a straw to limit contact with your teeth. Rinse your mouth with water after having any foods or drinks that may stain your teeth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to hide your smile. Your cosmetic dentist has the solutions you need to create a radiant smile you\u2019ll be proud to show off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Spiro Saati<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirosaatidmd.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Saati<\/a> earned his dental degree from the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine and regularly continues his education in advanced treatments, like periodontology, dental implants, and cosmetic dentistry.
