Why are the teeth yellow?

Causes

German researchers have established why the teeth are yellow. The natural color of healthy crowns is from milk to light cream. However, some people naturally have a darker color. Normally, the enamel is transparent, the dentin visible through it has the color of ivory. Saturation depends on the amount of minerals – the more there are, the darker the color. According to scientists, healthy crowns are yellowish.

But there is an unnatural yellowness of the teeth, the reasons for which lie in external factors:

smoking;
abuse of strong tea, coffee, cola, red wine;
passion for hookah;
non-compliance with oral hygiene;
low-quality care products;
high content of iodine, carotene, and other coloring substances in food.
An alarming symptom is yellow teeth whose causes of darkening are various systemic pathologies:

fluorosis – a disease caused by fluoride intoxication;
diseases of the circulatory system.
With some, the vessels inside the crown are destroyed, staining the dentin in brown;
thyroid disease;
hereditary anomalies in the formation of dentin, enamel.
Among the common circumstances why yellow teeth, professionals call:

the use of certain medications;
the use of mouth rinses;
the presence of seals with silver amalgam;
nerve removal;
natural aging process.
A yellow tooth may appear as a result of trauma, prosthetics. For the natural color is responsible for one of the genes, which determines the saturation of the color. To restore the natural look, it is enough to carefully monitor the hygiene of the oral cavity so that the pigment-colored coating does not deposit on the enamel surface.

People try using home remedies to make their smile snow-white. But the use of soda, lemon juice, coal, hydrogen peroxide and other similar know-how can only lead to thinning of enamel, hypersensitivity and caries.
