Brilio.net - For those of you who love coffee, consuming coffee might reduce drowsiness and increase stamina. But beyond that, the tannin and caffeine content in coffee can cause discoloration of teeth. Quoting from Britannica, Tuesday (16/7) tannin is an organic compound that you can find in yellow to brownish flowers or wood, like coffee.
Over time, the tannin content sticks to the surface of the enamel or tooth enamel. Even though enamel has a hard layer , tannins in the form of flakes can penetrate into the enamel. Therefore, when these tannins begin to accumulate, the teeth appear brown or yellowish.
Apart from being triggered by coffee, other habits such as smoking can also make your teeth yellow. The presence of nicotine in cigarettes causes yellow teeth and even triggers other diseases such as gum irritation and oral cancer.
Of course, having yellow teeth means you can't smile freely when greeting people around you. So, so that your smile becomes bright again, you can fade yellow teeth by using natural ingredients. This method is like what Instagram user @top_naturalrecipes does.

Benefits of carrots and lemons to fade yellow teeth.
Carrots and lemons are always used as a mixture of food or drink ingredients. However, the use of carrots and lemons can actually fade yellow teeth. Reporting from Trysnow, Tuesday (16/7) carrots can clean teeth naturally and strengthen gums, because they contain beta carotene. Apart from that, the presence of vitamin A in carrots can maintain the health of the mucous membranes in the mouth. The combination of vitamin A and beta carotene is claimed to be able to maintain oral hygiene, including whitening teeth.
Meanwhile, quoting from drsalimkapadiadental.com, lemons contain vitamin C which is believed to fade the bacteria that cause yellow spots. The citric acid content in lemon helps remove stains on the surface of the teeth, making them appear brighter. But you need to remember, don't use lemon too often because it can erode tooth enamel.
