If one or both of your parents have teeth with a yellowish hue, that is likely the cause of yours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Food, Drink, and Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It won\u2019t come as a surprise that what you eat and drink can cause your teeth to yellow. Coffee and tea are common culprits, but dark soda, red and white wine, and colored sports drinks can also cause discoloration. Foods including pasta sauce, dark berries, and dark chocolate can cling to the teeth and cause them to lose their pearly luster over time. Smoking is also a significant risk factor for yellow teeth as well as a host of oral health issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Medication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An unfortunate side effect of certain medications, including those for high blood pressure, asthma, and antibiotics, can cause the teeth to take on a yellow cast or otherwise appear discolored.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: Poor Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, how well you brush and floss your teeth also plays a big role in the color of your teeth. Bacteria in the mouth causes a sticky substance called plaque to form on the tooth enamel. If not removed within 24 hours, plaque turns to hard, yellow tartar that can only be removed with special tools at your dentist\u2019s office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5: Wear and Tear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth enamel is the external layer of the teeth; it covers the dark material inside called dentin. If your teeth are worn down due to teeth grinding, acidic food and drink, or due to age, you may notice your teeth appear darker or yellow than they once did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solutions for a Whiter Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to understand how to brighten your teeth is to talk to your dentist about your particular smile. In most cases, improved oral hygiene, routine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darbycreekdental.com\/dental-checkups-cleanings.html\">checkups and cleanings<\/a>, and\/or a teeth whitening treatment are all steps for achieving a healthy, dazzling set of pearly whites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re hiding your smile because you\u2019re embarrassed by yellow teeth, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with your dentist to find out what can be done!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. David W.
