Have yellow teeth It is not something very aesthetic and we want to avoid it. To achieve this it is necessary to understand what are your causes.
There are many causes of yellow teeth that have to do with our genetics, with congenital diseases (such as dentinogenesis or amelogenesis) or some medicines, or with blows or trauma, which we will not be able to control.
With the passage of time they always tend to change their color. Nevertheless, there are factors that we can control or avoid to keep our teeth whiter, such as:
There are several foods that stain our teeth such as: red fruits, vegetables such as beets, dark sauces such as soy or tomato sauce. Great caution should also be exercised with seasonings like curries.
The dark drinks such as coffee, green and black tea or alcoholic drinks like red wine, they stain our teeth.
It is also important to avoid acidic or sugar-containing drinks and artificial sweeteners. And soda and energy drinks.
Tobacco inevitably it is one of the main causes of yellow teeth. Its toxins and tars affect the enamel of the teeth, causing yellowing and black spots.
Additionally, over time it can lead to gum infections and periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, bad breath, resorption or loss of bone in the jaw and, in the worst case, tooth loss.
When we do not perform our oral hygiene correctly food scraps accumulate that end up generating: bacterial plaque, cavities, stains on our teeth, bad breath and wear of tooth enamel.
As we have mentioned, to avoid it you must avoid what causes it. It is not necessary that everything should be removed. The important is avoid its harmful effect. For this keep in mind:
One of the important keys to reducing the effect of all of the above is perform proper oral hygiene.
By ingesting beverages or foods such as those mentioned, it is possible to avoid their harmful effects by brushing the teeth after consumption, complementing it with the use of dental floss and mouthwash. You can use natural products like Bucoplack: cream, rinse and spray (ask us how to get it).
Visit the dentist at least every 6 months, it is an excellent option. In this way, solutions to problems with your teeth can be found in time and, also, they can perform professional oral hygiene.
If your teeth are already yellow you can consult the dentist about the option of practicing a Whitening treatment. Keep in mind that, before practicing a whitening on your teeth, it is necessary for the dentist to check the state of your teeth to know if this procedure is suitable for you.
