What causes the yellowing of the teeth even if u brush it always?
well the yellow material is called "plaque"... I think it is produced by the bacteria that live in the mouth.... You might want to try dental floss or go to the dentist
Reply:As we age our enamel thins and allows more of the next tooth layer, the dentin to show thru. The dentin is much yellower in color causing this yellowing of teeth. Whitening gels/strips can help whiten the dentin so your teeth are not so yellow. Try some whitestrips and if they do not satisfy seek professional whitening.
Reply:you could be staining your teeth with drinks like coffee and cola. Try white strips to whiten your teeth and drink with a straw so drinks bypass your teeth without staining them much.


Also acid foods and drinks can wear your enamel down and if you brush right after you eat you'll wear it off even more. Try to stay away from acidic foods and drinks.


Hope this helped!

Reply:Drinks and the tar (sugar) from smoking usually lead to the staining too. Make sure you lighten your coffees and teas with creamer- that will help. Also brush your teeth right after finishing coffee, tea, and especially wine and soda. And at night try using (Act's) fluoride rinse after you brush your teeth, it will help to make them stronger.
