Why Teeth Become Yellow
While many people believe that yellow teeth are the result of poor dental hygiene, that’s usually not the case. Several factors can contribute to the discoloration of your smile, including:
- Staining caused by certain foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, candy, and more
- A naturally thin layer of enamel
- Tobacco use
- Disease and certain medications
- Natural dulling of the teeth that occurs as we age
