Do you want to get rid of your yellow teeth? Your smile is the one of the first things that someone will notice about you yet for many of us it is not something we think about often. First you need to realize why your teeth are yellow and then you can do something about it.
It is a lot easier to get rid of yellow teeth if you know why you have yellow teeth. There are many causes of teeth turning yellowish. Smoking, old age, drinking pop and coffee, and even the foods you eat can all make your teeth yellow.
A less common reason for having yellow teeth is from being sick as a child. Many years ago children were given medicines that would make there teeth yellow. Once doctors realized that they were destroying kids teeth they stopped using these medicines.
If this is why your teeth are yellowed then the best thing to do is to see your dentist. The at home whitening methods to get rid of yellow teeth are for surface stains on teeth.
There are multiple methods to choose from to get rid of yellow teeth. The methods range from brushing your teeth with strawberries to going to the dentist.
Eating crunchy foods (carrots, not Doritos) to get rid of yellow teeth falls under the category of exfoliating your teeth. The hard materials will gently rub the surface of your teeth and over time will remove some of the staining. This can take a long time to see results.
Another way to get rid of yellow teeth is to use crushed up strawberries or lemons as a tooth paste. This works because they are both highly acidic foods and they eat the top layer off of your teeth. Be careful with this one because not only does it eat the yellow off of your teeth but it eats the enamel as well.
Using baking soda and peroxide is the most commonly know way to get rid of yellow teeth. Make a paste with the two ingredients and leave on your teeth for two minutes. Make sure you brush your teeth using normal tooth paste after wards to get the mixture off your teeth. Use caution not to do this to often because the peroxide and baking soda can break down your tooth enamel.
