How to Fix Yellow Teeth
The good news is that yellow teeth can be whitened with the right treatments and lifestyle changes.
1) Improve Your Oral Hygiene Routine
The first step to preventing and reversing yellowing is maintaining a proper oral hygiene routine:
- Brush twice daily using a fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes.
- Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles between teeth.
- Use an antibacterial mouthwash to help prevent staining and plaque buildup.
2) Professional Teeth Whitening
For fast and noticeable results, professional teeth whitening is one of the best options. At BOOM Smiles Hoboken, we offer in-office whitening treatments that can lighten teeth by several shades in just one visit. Professional whitening is safe, effective, and provides long-lasting results.
3)Â At-Home Whitening Treatments
If you prefer whitening at home, there are several options:
- Whitening toothpaste contains mild abrasives and peroxide to remove surface stains.
- Whitening strips are thin strips coated with bleaching agents that gradually lighten teeth.
- Whitening trays are custom or over-the-counter trays filled with a whitening gel.
4) Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks
Cutting back on foods and drinks that cause staining can help maintain a whiter smile. If you do consume them, consider using a straw to minimize contact with your teeth and rinse your mouth with water afterward.
5) Quit Smoking
Quitting smoking not only improves your overall health but also prevents further staining of your teeth.
6) Eat a Tooth-Friendly Diet
Some foods can naturally help keep teeth white, including:
- Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and celery, which help clean teeth naturally.
- Dairy products such as cheese and yogurt, which contain calcium and phosphorus to strengthen enamel.
- Water, which helps wash away food particles and stains.
7)Â Oil Pulling
Oil pulling, an ancient practice of swishing coconut or sesame oil in the mouth, is believed to help reduce plaque and whiten teeth naturally.
8) Dental Veneers or Bonding
For severe discoloration that does not respond to whitening, cosmetic dental procedures like veneers or cosmetic dental bonding can be an excellent solution. Veneers are thin porcelain shells placed over teeth to provide a bright, even smile.
