Brilio.net - Teeth are organs in the body that can change color. These changes usually take place slowly and are sometimes unnoticed. As we age, the outer enamel of teeth begins to thin, so the second layer becomes more visible. This is what makes teeth appear yellow.
Quoting Healthline, many factors cause teeth to become dull, yellow and lose their white shine. Certain foods with dense pigments such as coffee and tea can stain tooth enamel, which is the outer layer of teeth. Apart from that, plaque buildup can also cause teeth to appear yellow.
The condition of yellow teeth is usually accompanied by other disorders, such as bad breath, caries and gum disease. If not treated properly, this condition can cause severe tooth damage.
Tooth discoloration can usually be treated with regular cleaning and whitening. The basic way to care for your teeth that you can do is to brush your teeth twice a day, after eating and before going to bed.
Indeed, the main way to deal with yellow color on your teeth is to brush them regularly. However, some bad habits such as smoking or drinking coffee will make it difficult to keep your teeth white, so you can try several ways to whiten your teeth naturally. Such as bleaching at the dentist, using whitening paste, or using natural ingredients.
