Ever look in the mirror and wonder how your teeth got so yellow? There are several factors for that and our staff at Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania is here to tell you about them. By making a few simple lifestyle changes, you may be able to prevent teeth discoloration. For example, if you are a coffee drinker and/or smoker, you should consider cutting back or quitting altogether. However, if your teeth appear to bean abnormal color without any reasonable explanation, you should contact your dentist immediately.
When you do not routinely brush, floss and rinse your mouth to remove plaque buildup and tartar, this can give your teeth a bit of lackluster. However, it’s important to keep in mind that your teeth yellow over time. Your teeth can start yellowing as a natural part of the aging process. This happens as the strong, white protective coating on teeth, known as enamel, fades over time because of the everyday wear and tear on your teeth. Luckily, yellowing teeth are not a sign of a serious medical condition, so there is no need to worry.
