Suggest Treatment For Yellowish Teeth And Bleeding Gums

Posted on Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Question: My teeth becomes litle yellow with black points in between. when the yellow becomes more then during brushing time, blood comes some times. When i visit any dental clinic they suggest for cleaning. But once cleaning done then after 1 year / 1.5 year again it tends to become same yellowish gradually.
i use closeup tooth paste. Mostly i brush in morning time only. i change the brush in 3 / 4 months. Even if i tried with soft / sensitive / medium quality brushes.
If there any other tooth paste / powder for whitening of the teeth which can be used when the teeth becomes yellowish ??

Hello XXXX

Thanks for consulting Healthcare magic

This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query .

Read your query as you have yellowish teeth and sometime bleeding also dont be worried so much this bleeding gums is due to deposition of subgingival calculus and yellowish teeth are due to stains .

As you are asking for toothpaste for yellowish teeth you can try (but no guarentee) toothpaste like Colgate XXXXXXX white shine or colgate visible white toothpaste for whitening .
- Brush your teeth twice daily , you can use mouthwash like chlorhexidine .
- Do XXXXXXX warm saline rinses atleast once daily .

I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for subgingival scaling and polishing of teeth every six month to have good oral hygiene .

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have further query , I will be happy to help.

does polishing the teeth every six month have any bad efect on the teeth ? or enamel ?

Brief Answer:
No bad effect

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

Welcome again

Understand your concern Ajit polishing teeth every six month doesnot had any bad effect , see what happened is polishing agents used to polish your teeth contain abrasive material but abrasive materials are not harsh and polishing teeth (enamel ) after cleaning in order to keep away plaque sticking from tooth , and amount of enamel removed in this procedure is insignificant .
Secondly I will suggest you to take care of your teeth and gum by brushing your teeth twice daily using soft bristle brush , Do XXXXXXX warm saline rinses . Use mouthwash regularly , Gently massage your gum with pulp of your finger in circular motion for atleast one minute.
