Can Yellow Teeth Become White Again?

When we have yellowing teeth, we are amazed when someone smiles and reveals flawless, bright white teeth.

Can they really be that white naturally? We wonder.

Have they always shined that way?

More importantly, is it possible for me to whiten my yellow teeth?

To answer the last question – YES!

Why Teeth Turn Yellow?

Most people don’t find it concerning because teeth naturally turn slightly yellow with age. They slowly lose their white brilliance due to wear and tear. Nevertheless, a person’s teeth may also grow yellower due to other reasons, like:

• Poor Oral Hygiene
• Smoking
• Diet
• Medication

Even though most of us brush our teeth twice daily, we may not realize how important it is to use mouthwash and floss more frequently. You also must schedule a visit to an Ault dental clinic yearly. According to a Hive survey, 39% of people aged 25 to 34 brush their teeth once weekly. 36% of those aged 35 to 44 have never used mouthwash! These startling findings point to a widespread issue with oral hygiene neglect. It also indicates a devaluation of dental health relative to other areas of health.

Whitening Teeth at Home

Charcoal Activated Toothpaste

This toothpaste has a rough texture, similar to charcoal. However, it has undergone modifications for therapeutic uses. Activated charcoal can be used to clean your teeth but should be used only in moderation. It can also be combined with water to create a mouthwash.

Since it can irritate the gums, it is more of a temporary solution.

Teeth-Whitening Kits

You can have a custom mold of your mouth prepared by your dentist. All you have to do is add gel inside the mold, place it over your teeth, and in a matter of weeks, your yellow teeth will turn white again.

Visiting an Ault Emergency Dentist

Teeth Whitening Treatment

The best way to whiten your teeth quickly is to visit the dentist. The procedure takes place in three steps:

• An ointment is applied to the gums for protection
• Next up is the gel application on the yellowing teeth surfaces
• Teeth are exposed to UV light to break down stains. This also helps speed up the whitening effect

Not everyone is a good candidate for teeth whitening. Treatment won’t be possible if you have specific problems, such as gum disease. Your dentist will discuss all of your options with you and create a strategy to take care of any dental issues before the procedure.
