Why Are My Teeth Yellow?
At Rabalais Dental Centre, we understand that a bright smile is essential for confidence and self-esteem. If you’ve been wondering, “Why are my teeth yellow?” you’re not alone. Let’s explore the common causes and solutions our dental experts offer.
Staining: Pigmented foods and drinks—like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries—can cause surface stains, and tobacco use also plays a major role in discoloration.
Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque and tartar buildup, which contributes to yellowing.
Aging: Over time, enamel wears down, exposing the yellowish dentin beneath.
Medications & Conditions: Antibiotics such as tetracycline and certain childhood health conditions can cause intrinsic stains.
Our licensed dentists offer professional teeth whitening treatments, using safe bleaching agents to lift surface stains and brighten your smile. For deeper, intrinsic stains, porcelain veneers are an excellent choice, providing a durable, natural-looking solution. Alongside these cosmetic options, we emphasize consistent oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and personalized guidance on lifestyle habits to keep your smile looking its best.
