Changing yellow teeth may make you annoyed and uncomfortable. Even if you brush your teeth diligently, this discoloration can actually occur, you know.
Teeth can turn yellow or darker due to several habitual factors. The most common experience experienced by many people is consuming foods and drinks that contain pigments.
Drinks such as coffee and tea can easily stick to your teeth. Meanwhile, foods such as tomato sauce, curry and berries cause staining of the teeth. Well, hygiene that is not maintained perfectly can make teeth yellow.
Apart from being caused by food and drink, smoking can also change the color of your teeth. You need to know that the chemicals in cigarettes, such as nicotine and tar, can stick to tooth enamel and cause discoloration.
Piles of yellow stains may seem disgusting to some people. It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to brighten yellow teeth. There are various methods that you can use, such as having regular check-ups with a doctor, avoiding smoking, and whitening your teeth.
Alternatively, you can get rid of yellow teeth using baking soda. Baking soda has abrasive properties that can brighten yellow teeth. Even though it has benefits for dental health, it is not recommended to use baking soda continuously because it can damage the tooth layer. So, just use baking soda as needed.
Apart from the method above, there is one more method that you can use, namely combining toothpaste with natural ingredients . This method was shared by beauty vlogger kochenrezepte3856. Through uploads on the YouTube channel @kochenrezepte3856, he is seen combining toothpaste with carrots and turmeric.
Carrots are not only used as a food or drink mixture. This cooking ingredient also has other benefits for beauty, such as eliminating yellow teeth.
Reporting from snodgrassking.com, Monday (25/3) carrots are rich in vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, which is important for healthy teeth and gums. Vitamin A helps strengthen tooth enamel and maintain healthy gum tissue. The fiber in carrots can help clean teeth from food debris and plaque.
Not only that, this fiber can stimulate saliva production which helps protect teeth from damage. Meanwhile, the crunchy texture of carrots can act as a natural abrasive. This helps remove yellow stains and plaque from the surface of the teeth.
Meanwhile, additional ingredients such as turmeric contain the compound curcumin which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. These two ingredients can help reduce inflammation in the mouth and prevent plaque formation.
