What Are The Causes of Yellow Teeth?

Teeth are naturally white in color, but over time they can start to look yellow. Internal and external factors can affect this yellowing, and your dentist can advise you on treatment.

Key takeaways:

– Tooth enamel is porous and stains easily from certain foods and drinks such as wine, tea and coffee.

– A dentist may recommend a professional cleaning once a year to help prevent stains building up.

– Tooth enamel which is naturally thinner can allow the yellowish dentin to show through.

– Antibiotics can also cause yellowing.

– Teeth start to turn yellow with advancing age.

“The acid in foods such as lemons and drinks such as soda can wear away the tooth enamel, making it easier for staining to occur and also allowing the yellowish color of your dentin—the softer layer beneath your tooth enamel—to come through.”
