Why do teeth turn yellow?

Warum werden Zähne gelb?

A morning look in the mirror often reveals one or another yellowish discoloration on your teeth. In today's blog post, we explain what you can do about yellow discoloration and why the color of your teeth changes in the first place. Discoloration on your teeth can occur in various ways. Teeth can turn yellow over time, externally, internally or even due to age. The most common reasons for externally visible tooth discoloration include deposits on the tooth enamel. Internal discoloration is often due to the dentin. While a yellow or grayish coloring of your teeth can also be attributed to your increasing age.

Prevent external tooth discoloration on tooth enamel

Externally visible tooth discoloration is discoloration that is caused by the tooth enamel. It is only found on the outer layer of the teeth. This type of discoloration is often caused by stimulants such as tobacco products, coffee, tea, alcohol, but also ketchup, curry and cola. In order to prevent this type of discoloration, it is advisable not only to clean your teeth thoroughly but also to consciously avoid stimulants that promote deposits. Understandably, this is not always possible, so that over time and over the years, deposits can form despite a conscious diet. You can prevent deposits on your teeth very effectively by thoroughly and regularly brushing your teeth. The decisive criterion is that you not only care for your teeth regularly, but also thoroughly. Our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush guarantees you thorough tooth cleaning. Brushing your teeth without mechanical movement effectively protects the valuable enamel of your teeth from wear and tear. Thanks to the abrasion-free application, neither teeth nor enamel nor gums are damaged.

Avoid discolored dentin

Tooth discoloration is usually caused by the dentin. The dentin lies beneath the enamel. If the outer layer of the enamel has already been worn away or damaged, the dentin can cause unsightly discoloration. To avoid this type of discoloration, it is important to protect the enamel effectively from destruction. A common cause of damage to the enamel is too much pressure when brushing your teeth. With our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush, you can clean and care for your teeth without applying pressure.

Preventing age-related tooth discoloration

U From a certain age, teeth automatically discolor. This is a natural process. Despite efficient oral hygiene, this type of discoloration can rarely be stopped. The tooth enamel becomes thinner and the dentin becomes darker, teeth appear yellowish or even grayish. Even if this process is completely natural and cannot be stopped, it is possible to slow down the process through effective dental care. Our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush with its unique cleaning function guarantees support for efficient oral hygiene.
