Wondering why your teeth aren’t as white as they used to be? Yellowing can come from aging, genetics, smoking, coffee, or even medical conditions—but many causes are preventable.
Thin enamel from genetics or wear-and-tear with age can expose the yellowish dentin beneath. Smoking, poor oral care, and some medications also stain teeth. Health issues like acid reflux or liver disease may damage enamel or cause deeper discoloration.
Tips for a Whiter Smile:
-
Brush with fluoride toothpaste
-
Floss daily
-
Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks
-
Quit smoking
-
Stay hydrated
-
Get regular dental cleanings
If stains persist, talk to your dentist about whitening treatments or veneers. A healthy smile starts with consistent care and smart habits!
