Brilio.net - Yellow teeth are a condition in which teeth that should be white or bright look duller and yellowish. This condition is often caused by the accumulation of stains from certain foods, drinks, or habits.
Some types of food and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and foods containing artificial coloring, can leave stains on the surface of the teeth. In addition, smoking also contributes to yellowing of the teeth, because the nicotine and tar contained in cigarettes can stick to the tooth enamel.
But in addition to external factors, tooth discoloration can also be caused by internal factors, such as a decrease in the quality of tooth enamel as you age. Enamel is a protective layer that coats your teeth and over time, this layer can thin so that the yellow dentin layer underneath is more visible.
Gum disease, use of certain medications, or lack of proper dental care can also cause changes in tooth color. To overcome this, most people will go to the dentist to do certain treatments, in order to whiten yellow teeth. In fact, there are other ways that are no less effective to maximize dental care.

Contains cloves to fade yellow teeth.
Cloves are known to have a variety of health benefits, including their ability to fade yellow teeth. One of the main reasons why cloves can help with this problem is their content of antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds, especially eugenol.
Eugenol has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can maintain oral hygiene by reducing plaque and bacteria buildup on teeth. Plaque buildup can cause teeth to turn yellow, and by effectively cleaning plaque, teeth can look brighter.
Benefits of lemon for whitening yellow teeth.
Lemon can whiten yellow teeth because of its high citric acid content. Citric acid functions as a natural whitening agent by eroding stains on the surface of the teeth, especially those caused by foods or drinks that can leave marks, such as coffee or tea.
In addition, lemons also have antibacterial properties that can clean plaque and germs in the mouth, which often cause teeth to look dull or yellow.
