Causes Of Yellow Teeth
Below are the factors that contribute to the color of your teeth.
Genetics
The color and hue of your teeth can be largely dependent on your genetics. If a particular shade runs in your family, your likelihood to share the same tooth color is likely.
Aging
Teeth inevitably turn more yellow with time because your enamel will thin as you age.
Wear & Tear
The food and drinks you consume eventually wear down on your teeth. Highly acidic and sugary food and drinks are even more damaging to your enamel.
Diet
As mentioned earlier, what you consume affects the rate of which your teeth become stained. Food and drinks high in acidity, sugar, or that carry strong pigmentation are more likely to stain your teeth.
Lifestyle
Smoking is a big contributor to teeth stains and discolorations. It can leave a yellow or brown hued stain on your teeth and additionally can be damaging to your gums and overall health.
Professional Teeth Whitening Vs. Over The Counter Products
It is always recommended to consider the assistance of professionals when considering whitening. Over the counter products have diluted whitening gels that require more product usage for the desired color shade of the teeth. Moreover, over the counter and self administered teeth whitening is not assisted by dental professionals. You end up paying more in the long run when you factor in the needed product usage and run the risk of compromised teeth and gums if not done correctly. At Jesmine Boghawala DDS, we consider factors such as your oral hygiene, sensitivity, root exposures, and periodontal recession to decide the right approach for you.
Teeth Whitening Post Treatment
After the in office teeth whitening procedure at Jesmine Boghawala DDS, you will receive a home teeth whitening kit that includes a custom upper and lower trays along with whitening gel syringes. The trays can be worn comfortably, for a set amount of time as instructed by the dentist when it’s convenient for you. Professional whitening strips are a low-cost alternative that is stronger than what you will find at your local drugstore.
