Brilio.net - Many people are not aware of the change in the color of their teeth from ivory white to yellowish. Even though this condition is quite disturbing to appearance and reduces self-confidence. It is not without reason that teeth that appear yellow are caused by several factors, such as rarely brushing your teeth, consuming foods or drinks that are heavily pigmented, smoking, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
Reporting from the Cleveland Clinic, changes in tooth color can be caused by things that are out of control, such as getting older or experiencing an accident that will disrupt the development of enamel (the outer layer of teeth). In general, teeth that appear yellow are very easy to observe. Color changes do not only occur in one tooth, but can occur in all of them.
Apart from the factors above, yellow teeth can also occur due to plaque accumulating on the surface and between the teeth. Dental plaque is a sticky layer that forms on the surface or around the teeth as a result of the buildup of bacteria and food debris in the mouth. If not treated immediately, dental plaque can develop into stubborn tartar and bad breath.
So, to overcome this condition, many people use whitening strips which are formulated to instantly brighten their teeth. The whitening strip itself is in the form of a thin sheet coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. Even though they can have an instant effect, the chemicals in teeth whitening strips can also irritate the mouth and gums if used for a long time and not according to instructions.
Another solution, you can use ingredients in your kitchen that are no less effective for whitening yellow teeth and dealing with dental plaque. Like the video shared by the owner of the TikTok account on October 12 2023, which contains tricks for dealing with yellowness and plaque on teeth using only 2 types of kitchen ingredients , namely baking soda and lemon.
