Are Your Teeth Yellowing?

There Are Several Factors That Can Contribute to the Staining of Your Teeth, Including:
Age: Over the course of your life, your enamel will become more fine from everyday use and brushing. Underneath the enamel on your teeth is a layer called dentin, which is more yellow in color and may begin to start showing more and more as you age. Our teeth whitening kits can help give you a whiter smile despite you getting older or brushing the enamel off your teeth.
Food/Drinks: Different foods and drinks that contain chromogens, acids and tannins could easily stain your teeth. Our teeth whitening kits can help combat the damage done by certain foods and drinks. Below is more information about the things that negatively affect tooth enamel:
- Chromogens – have powerful pigments that bind to tooth enamel.
- Tannins – are plant-based substances that help keep stains on your teeth.
- Acids – make tooth enamel softer, which helps set stains in.
Tobacco: Both the nicotine and the tar found in tobacco will cause discoloration to your teeth.
Trauma: Sometimes when the mouth is injured/hit, teeth that have been impacted by the injury may turn yellow. When this happens, teeth create more dentin underneath the enamel as a response to the trauma. This in turn will cause the affected teeth to look yellower/darker.
Medications: Certain medications can make your teeth susceptible to discolor. Some antihistamines, such as Benadryl, can possibly darken your teeth as a side effect. High blood pressure drugs and antipsychotics may also result in discolored teeth.
