Ever looked mirror-wards only to be greeted by teeth that are everything but pearly white? Over time, our teeth can lose their luster and radiant whiteness, leaving you occasionally covering your mouth when you laugh, or hesitating to flash a smile in selfies. But don’t worry! Besides dropping into Assure a Smile, your trusted Miami holistic dentist, let’s journey together through some culprits behind your yellow teeth and explore simple ways to combat them.
To begin unraveling the mystery of off-colored teeth, let’s talk about eating habits. Consumables like fizzy soda, bitter black coffee, deep-colored berries, and vibrant red wine are known culprits leaving their autograph on your teeth in the form of stains. This is due to the sticky residue these foods and drinks tend to leave behind. Hence, why not usher in some mindfulness about what crosses your plate and into your mouth? And about that tantalizing bedtime cup of tea or the weekend wine glasses, remember to stroll the toothbrush through your mouth shortly after, to counteract the staining process.
The relation between smoking and yellow teeth is another plot that’s thicker than a block of wood. Tobacco, playing the villain role never fails to do its part, with its constituents like tar and nicotine that are renown for turning a brilliant smile into a tarnished one. Even casual brushes with smoking, over time, can have your teeth crying out for some attention. Looking to go from golden to glossy white? Then quitting, or at least cutting down on the tobacco could be a game-changer.
But what if you’ve been good, followed the recommendations, and kept the tobacco at arm’s length? Turning a certain age could unbelievably also throw your teeth into the yellow spectrum. Sad as it sounds, this is one part of getting older we could all do without!
It’s high time we took our smiles back from the grips of less attractive shades. The team at Assure a Smile, your preferred Miami holistic dentist, is ready to help you regain your confidence with a brighter and healthier smile.
