Teeth Problem?
The color of teeth is due to the color of the dentin that is under the enamel. The enamel is translucent and the dentin color shows through. You may have taken some tetracycline antibiotics when you were very young, which causes the unerupted tooth buds to color yellow. There is really nothing you can do about this except to have the teeth bleached. It is painless and usually very successful on yellowish teeth. Don't waste time or money with take home and store whitening stuff - not strong enough to make a difference, especially with very yellow teeth. Have it done in a dental office and you should get a nice result.
Reply:Crest whitening strips cost like 10 dollars.





You can also get your teeth covered, I'm not sure what it's called though. I have it. It feels just like normal teeth.
Reply:use whitening toothpaste (preferrably with sensitivity protection, as whitening agents can make teeth sensitive to hot, cold, sweets, etc) and also try something like Crest Whitestrips (generic brands which show improvement can cost as low as $15.00...try Eckerd or CVS if you don't want to shell out the $35 for Crest brand).





also, VERY IMPORTANT! after you do any sort of whitening, do NOT drink soda/coffee, eat anything dark in color, or preferrably, anything at all, for about 15min-half an hour.





this is because whitening products open the pores in your teeth to allow the bleach product to whiten, but the pores stay open afterward for a little while.





if you drink soda/coffee/etc. or eat anything dark, all that yucky color will enter the pores before they close, locking in all that junk and making your teeth look worse.





lastly, don't expect results right away, but you should see improvement in about 2 weeks. good luck!!! =D and smile. haha
