Having
problems with your smile because your pearly whites aren’t as white
as you want them to be? Chances are, you’re not alone; a lot of
people have their own troubles with yellow teeth. Yellowing teeth
tend to manifest as a person ages, but it could happen sooner if you
don’t take good care of your teeth.

of Tooth Stains
While
there are a lot of factors that could yellow your teeth, these would
usually fall into two categories: extrinsic and intrinsic stains.
Extrinsic stains are generally stains found at the surface of the
enamel, or the tooth’s outermost layer. Your diet would usually
cause the development of these stains, from dark-colored foods and
beverages to ones having high alcohol content. Moreover, habits such
as smoking and chewing tobacco can cause extrinsic stains, along with
poor dental hygiene.
