Yellow teeth

The quality of a smile is an important part of everyday life. Over time, however, teeth lose their original whiteness and take on a yellowed appearance. This can be a source of embarrassment, but there are dental aesthetics techniques you can use to alleviate the problem.

THE CAUSES OF YELLOW TEETH

The yellowish colour of teeth is caused by the deposit of food colouring in the microfissures of the enamel, which is a brittle substance. Certain acidic foods thin the enamel and cause teeth to yellow more quickly.

The main factors that also contribute to yellow teeth are :

  • tobacco
  • tea
  • coffee
  • soft drinks
  • wine
  • tartar

SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE AESTHETIC QUALITY OF MY TEETH

To get rid of yellow teeth for good, we recommend that you make an appointment to see a dentist. He or she can offer you scaling followed by polishing. This involves firstly removing the calcified plaque covering the teeth and then removing the yellow stains from the enamel.

Teeth whitening techniques can also be used, to preserve the enamel while getting rid of the yellow stains.

THE RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT: LESS YELLOW TEETH

The results of these different treatments are immediate: teeth are instantly whiter and the smile is brighter.

It is advisable to limit the foods and habits that accentuate yellowing of the teeth to benefit from the results of the treatments for longer.

THE PRICE OF THIS TECHNIQUE: DENTAL AESTHETICS

Your dental surgeon and his team will tell you the cost of scaling and polishing or tooth whitening after an initial consultation.
