I Have Yellow Shades On My Teeth, How To Keep It White ?
dr. I brush twice a day, even then I have yellow shades on my teeth, how to keep it white.

Hi,
Yellow stains on your teeth are extrinsic stains. These stains can be removed by scaling and polishing. If still the stains persist you can get a bleaching done or ceramic veneers done on your teeth.

Hi, the yellow shade may be due to calculus deposit, fluoride stains or internal discoloration of teeth. Please consult a dentist. You may require scaling, bleaching, composite restorations or ceramic splints depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Take care!

hello,
your yellow stains may be due to extrinsic stains or habitual. smoking is major cause for tooth yellow stains (if you are'nt a smoker please ignore). scaling could be of great help and if necessary bleaching will make it up. take care

Dear friend.
Causes for yellow staining is High flouride content in drinking water, calculus deposits or natural colour of tooth in some diseases in which there is very less enamel on tooth e.g. Dentinogenesis Imperfecta.
If it is due to calculus deposits the get Scaling and Polishing done from General dentist.
If not satisfied yet then go for Teeth Bleeching.
And in extreme cases composite or ceramic veneering has to be done.
Veneer is a thin cover for front portion of your teeth and are expensive.

hi!
I would like to advise you to first go to a dentist and get scaling and polishing done. If the yellow stains still persists, they can be intrinsic or due to the composition of tooth. A tooth consists of an inner dentin layer(yellowish in colour) and an outer enamel layer. Any defect in these these two components can be a reason for yellow appearance of tooth.To mask the yellow appearance ceramic veneers can be used. Bleaching the tooth also helps in whitening teeth. Hope this post is helpful to you. Take care

yellow stain on your teeth are due to fluoride, in some area of our country. having more fluoride in drinking water.after long time of using this water will stain the teeth ,it is harmless.
by doing more brush or forcefully rubbing brush,will not solve the problem.cosmetic purpose ,some may go for capping of tooth,for this you may seek an advice of dentist
