View Full Version : Yellow Teeth??

Ok, well maybe not yellow, but off white definitely. Why??

I clean twice a day with whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, a good toothbrush and even sometimes a whitening kit... but still they stay beige.

It drives me insane. Whitening professionally is way too expensive, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any nice tips on whitening teeth.

I don't drink coke nor coffee, since it stains, and I am going to see the hygineist soon... but is there any of those "products" that really do work?

Can't stand them being off white. May as well just save some money and get me some veneers lol!

coke also stains so do you drink alot of that? maybe your teeth are just like that? or maybe you've brushed off the enamel or something

Ermm, I don't really know what other advice to give other than try using mout whitening trays which you can get fairly cheap.

My teeth are white, I brush them just as another other person with regular tooth paste lol, I drink tonnes of tea and coke, and I have to say I don't always brush my teeth twice a day - lol. Just try brushing for longer, use mouth wash etc.

How long have you been brushing your teeth for?

Doesn't happen overnight and It's 60% diet 40% what you do next to the sink which determines how white your teeth are

Also, its not just the obvious drinks that rot, discolour teeth, things like cordial do this just as much as coke etc. Things like tomatoey based foods will stain teeth to.

And, try something like pro-namel, its meant to restore the enamel on your teeth so maybe that will help whiten them and in between brush your teeth after everything you eat and drink if thats possible.

The enamel on your teeth is porous so things like fizzy drinks and coffee stain the dentin underneath the enamel. Dentin is naturally a somewhat yellow colour anyway so enamel erosion can make your teeth appear more yellow. Whitening toothpastes do nothing because they aren't on your teeth for an extended period of time, not to mention the active ingredient is normally calcium which does nothing in the way of whitening.
Ways that actually work involve bleaching the dentin with some form of peroxide, can't remember which. The most common of these treatments are strips which you apply to your teeth for about half an hour each day and the strips are just coated with peroxide which bleaches your teeth over time (http://www.crestwhitestrips.co.uk/infocentre.asp) (http://www.crestwhitestrips.co.uk/infocentre.asp)
The other most common method is one where you wear a gumshield which is basically filled with peroxide to the same effect as the strips. The benefit of the gumshield is that it's molded specifically to your teeth so you get better coverage than the strips (the strips, being uniform rectangular strips, don't compansate for the fact that some teeth may go higher into the gums than others. The gumshield obviously does compansate for this).
Also veneers cost about £1000 per tooth or something along those lines so you wouldn't really be saving money! :P

Since you are brushing two times a day, you can make it three times a day for at least 3 minutes.
Don't brush too hard and use a soft bristle toothbrush.
If you drink coke or tea be sure you've rinsed your mouth after.
Try to use crest strips whitening kit.

Thanks so far for the replies!

Just to clear it up, almost all I ever drink is water. It is really rare that I have something sweet (I don't like the fizzy ones).

When I do brush, I am thorough, and take a good few mins to finish. I'm not a big eater either, so I don't have much sugary or artifical foods at all.

They aren't really yellow, just like a bit off white, which drives me completely insane lol! Must have shimmering white teeth lol!

Thanks for the advice, FYI I have followed it and just purchased a crest whitening strips kit from the internet. When I complete the 7 day course I shall let you all know of my results!

Thanks,
Star

P.S. Can anyone reccomend a good whitening toothpaste and mouthwash that seems to work? Cos I am using Sensodyne whitening foam with listerine whiten mouthwash (it tastes like paint stripper lol!). But neither seem to affect my teeth at all.

I use crest whitening strips and Pearl Drops. I also have a paste/paint thing that I brush onto my teeth to make them white :D

They are your normal teeth colour, it'd be great for everyone to have dazzling white teeth but it just doesn't happen naturally in nature. As long as they are not bad then you are fine.

Crest White Strips work after a week or two and they are very white. They don't damage your teeth so don't go with what these things say. If you ask your dentist he will recommend crest white strips.

The majority of people with white teeth go to the dentist to get them done up(example: Miley Cyrus). Some people's teeth look white, but they are not.

Going to get it professionally done will be my final resort, providing crest white strips do not work. But I do have faith in those strips - considering all of the reviews I have read.

Only problem is, my teeth are kinda sensitive. Gonna have alot of pain apparently lol!

It wont hurt. If you have sensitive teeth then the strips might make them feel a bit more sensitive but it wont be anything to cry about, just pap on an extra blob of Sensodyne when brushing.

Yeah they worked for me and if you go on YouTube, all positive reviews :)
It's safe and approved by dentists, Crest White Strips will refund you up to 60 days if it doesn't work.

If it gets sensitive, might do might not like LoveToStack said, get a bit of sensodyne and use that for 30 secs or so.

Somtimes it just happens to people even if their oral health is good, it happend to my sister ask the dentist they'll recommend something. If there's nothing you can do about it though I deffo would suggest getting them professionally bleached, white teeth = yum.

I used a 14 strip pack (7 days) and they worked first time and I have never had to use them again. (As long as you brush, you can drink as much coke as you want, aslong as you always brush well. And in the unlikely event it gets yellowly again, another pack :D)

I have just ordered a 2nd box incase I need to use it in the future. Although I only used once, slight sensitivity (I had little sensodyne toothpastes in my pocket or bag, so I could put a dab on finger and rub on sensitive spot and its fine).

I buy mine here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Crest-Whitestrips-PRO-EFFECTS-Teeth-Whitening-Strips_W0QQitemZ200372576735QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ HealthBeauty_DentalCare_RL?hash=item2ea722e1df&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

How's it going (Supposing you got them). If you notice white spots on your teeth by day 3 then its working.

Almost completed the course and I'm happy with the results. They could still be whiter, but considering how cheap the strips were I'm definitely not complaining.

Whiter than before, but didn't notice any spots on my teeth?

Having white teeth isn't natural, the natural colour believe it or not is (not extremely yellow) but tinted yellow and not fully white. When I went to my dentist saying I wnat them whitened because I thought having yellow teeth was really weird and horrible and I couldn't get rid of it. She said "why would you want these whitened there's nothing wrong with them?" and she basically gave me this lesson on how teeth shouldn't be shiney white how you want them to be and that the natural colour of your teeth should be tinted yellow and not fully white.
