Many people have stained front teeth and they look bad when they smile or laugh. They stains may give the impression of bad oral hygiene but the cause may be somewhere else. It is important to understand the cause of the problem and try to find a long term or cosmetic cure. White teeth always look good and they enhance confidence levels and also one's personality. So let us strive for them.
Some possible causes of these dirty brown stains on the pearly white teeth may be identified as below. These are some common cause and your problem may be due to some totally other reason. In that case you are requested to consult a professional dentist.
More than two cups of coffee a day can cause your white teeth to stain quickly. These brown stains manifest on the front teeth and are difficult to get rid of.
Another common cause is, red wine. This red wine can quickly stain your teeth and the cosmetic cure can be really expensive .Smoking is another common cause of brown teeth. Look around , most long term smokers will have stained yellow teeth. Tobacco cause quick staining which is again very difficult to remove. Gum disease , infections and bad oral hygiene can also cause white teeth to turn yellow.
I suggest the following home remedies and basic dental care . If this does not work or the condition is chronic then you definitely need to consult a dentist. Or try a cosmetic dental treatment.
Reduce coffee and red wine intake and reduce smoking. This is common sense and also good for your body. Try chewing raw vegetables , once a day . Raw vegetables are a healthy snack and they will also help in cleaning your teeth. Strawberries have a natural bleaching effect and are high on Vitamin 'C'. So have some every day . This is a 'tasty' healthy solution to the yellow teeth problem. Of course make sure, you are not allergic to them.Floss everyday. Stains form easily between teeth and flossing is an easy solution.Brush your teeth everyday, every 12 hours. Do ensue the bristles are not worn out. Change your brush regularly. Old worn out brushes just cannot brush away plaque forming bacteria and are useless.
Try a natural herbal cure :
Rub some burnt almond shell powder lightly on your front teeth , twice a day and check the results after a fortnight. You may be surprised! Try putting some raw common salt on your tooth paste before brushing. The fine grains of the salt will remove and reduce yellow stains and bring a white shine back to your teeth. Another home remedy that works with many kind of stains is to rub the teeth with a bay leaf , thrice a week. This seems to work for many people and is inexpensive.
If nothing works then:
Get your teeth professionally cleaned and polished by a dentist.
Go for professional bleaching job after studying the pros and cons of the process.
You may also try various bleaching packs and home teeth whitening systems. You may require these to maintain the white shine, especially if you cannot control smoking, coffee and red wine intake. Do read and understand the 'patented' process before rushing to buy some. A comparison between various options available in the market will definitely be beneficial.
if you want to have bleaching treatments and to gain its effectiveness you can contact nearby dentist or you can also contact Dr. McCarty who had awarded as a “Super Dentist Award” by Texas Monthly Magazine. Or else you can also visit the site http://austinsmiles.com/.
