How is this happening? Isn\u2019t brushing the main reason our teeth stay white? The answer is yes\u2026and no. Yes, daily dental hygiene is the way you need to keep your dental health intact. But your teeth can also begin to change because of other factors, like your diet. When you keep a certain diet regularly, the outer layers of your teeth get stained over the years. When these outside sources of staining are left to sit on the teeth until your next brushing, the dentin on your teeth becomes yellowish or darkened. Contributing factors to yellowing, stained teeth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tetracycline based antibiotics used before the age of 8 years old<\/li>\n<li>Excessive exposure to fluoride as a child<\/li>\n<li>Internal bleeding due to trauma<\/li>\n<li>Discoloration due to a health condition<\/li>\n<li>Natural aging- as time goes by enamel gets thinner and thinner and will get a yellowish hue<\/li>\n<li>Soda<\/li>\n<li>Wine<\/li>\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n<li>Caffeine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, now that we know what causes our teeth to become dingy looking, how do we prevent this from happening? The best way to help your stained discolored teeth is professional <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smilesbygeorge.com\/tooth-whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tooth whitening<\/a>.
