Yellow teeth at 12?

I%26#039;m 12 and i have really yellow teeth. it%26#039;s embarresing to laugh so when i do i cover my teeth with my upper lip, tonge or hand. i%26#039;ve been asked why i do that and i try to change the subject real fast. i brush my teeth twice a day, so i think their %26#039;naturally yellow%26#039; my dentist says i cant use whitening strips cause im to young. but i cant cover my teeth forever, so how do i whiten my teeth???

Yellow teeth at 12?
Yeah, don%26#039;t use whitening strips and other evil products, they will give you mouth cancer eventually, man. Peroxide is the main ingredient in those, good for your kitchen counter, laundry, and around your toilet, but not really for your mouth. Also, when you stop using them, your teeth will become yellow again. Try to get a titanium-oxide rod toothbrush with a natural polishing paste. Titanium-oxide reacts with UV rays (from the sun or light bulb) and it has a sterilizing effect and will help kill the bacteria which causes yellowing. Just keep the brush in the sunlight before brushing. Or perhaps some baking soda and sea salt. Remember, your enamel is very thin, so don%26#039;t go crazy polishing away every day for a year with polishing substances (main ingredient in most whitening pastes), you will damage your teeth.





Avoid fluoride toothpaste and fluoride in general, it’s very bad for teeth; no matter what anyone says – it’s poisonous (do your own research). It’s a by product of the aluminium industry and has been used for cockroach powder and rat poison; now it’s in toothpaste – crazy stuff. They seem to work well for me. Oh, and no, your teeth are not supposed to be bleach white in colour. Very yellow? -- perhaps it%26#039;s something you eat? Something staining. Well, of course avoid candy, junk food, and all that kind of stuff; teeth are part of your body and thus part of your lifestyle and diet too. Teeth are just like any other part of your body, you can repair them by eating generally healthier food; you know, more green leafy vegetables and fresh fruit etc.





For me, I had braces for many years, and I could not clean my teeth properly no matter how I tried, and they got yellow, especially on the side teeth -- and the yellow never goes completely away. So, try some natural toothpastes and see which works best for you. You can even do some research to see what native peoples around the world use to clean their teeth, such as people in parts of India use the neem tree. They just break a stick off and rub their teeth with it, and their teeth look great. You can even buy neem toothpaste, but of course it’s not the same as the actual stick.





Hey in the end, you can present an essay project for a class at school on mouth and tooth care.
Reply:oh - poor you ! Is it from antibiotics when you were younger - or too much coca cola/pepsi etc !


Anyway - how many teeth are still milk teeth ? Try changing your diet now so the adult teeth grow in whiter. If adult teeth, gotta wait I guess !
Reply:cut out the cokes and start drinking only water. And they have colgate total whitening toothpaste. I tried it and it works.
Reply:I%26#039;m 12 also and i just dont smile. Yeah..I know depressing huh...It runs in the family to have naturally yellow teeth and it bugs the heck outta me when people point it out. I brush a lot, use floride, and their yellow. Note:YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I%26#039;d use healthy dental habits and try teeth whitning gum while your in class?
Reply:i would start by brushing your teeth normally then make a baking soda paste (50% water 50% baking soda) and brushing with that it tastes horrible and its not a good idea to swallow it but it helps and then rinse very well and then brush with a wet toothbrush (no toothpaste or baking soda) hope this helps whenever your baby teeth fall out is when you can start using whitining products
Reply:There are things you can do to get rid of the yellowness. Use whitening toothpaste. Eliminate foods and drinks that stain teeth (coffee, soda, etc.) Did your dentist have any treatments that are safe at your age? Talk to your parents and see if they can pay for such a treatment.





Another thing, your teeth may not look as bad as you think.
Reply:do u smoke?!?! (JK)


Try switchin ur toothbrush.... or ask ur dentist how can u make ur teeth white... and try usin toothpaste that is expensive and recommended to make ur teeth White..
Reply:I would talk to your dentist again and discuss your options. Also ask to talk to the dental hygienist, they may be able to figure out where this yellowing is coming from.


You can also brush your teeth with baking soda, found in the supermarket baking section. It is safe to use at your age, cleans teeth up real nice and used along with your regular toothpaste can make a big difference to the colour of your teeth.


Good luck! I know what it%26#039;s like to be ashamed of your teeth, and I hope you find a solution that works for you soon.
Reply:WHAT DOES THIS DENTIST WANT YOU TO DO, KEEP YOUR YELLOW TEETH? I KNOW THERE ARE CERTAIN PROCEDURES THAT CAN BE DONE BY THE DENTITST TO BRIGHTREN YOUR SMILE THAT DAY.

regards

Yellow teeth! a big problem , need your kind help pls?
causes- coffe, beer, steak/dark meats, coke/ dark coloured soft drinks.





solutions-stop drinking/eating the above, use a whitening toothpaste twice a day, crest white strips ($29.99 at your local drugstore), a bleaching paste that comes in a tube, also at your local drugstore(read instructions carefully), or go to a dentist and have them professionally whitened using bleaching paste/gel (moderately expensive, or a laser(quite expensive). ps-getting it done at the dentist has instant results, and the in home ones take 2 - 6 weeks.
Reply:crest white strips work really well =]
Reply:dont listen to those ppl, they dont know what they%26#039;re talkin%26#039; bout. white strips are expensive and they only work for so many weeks. just get some toothpaste that has baking soda in it and brush with that. it%26#039;ll take about a week to see results but i promise it%26#039;ll work better than any white strip.
Reply:1- you will definitely need to brush your teeth a minimum of 3 times a day.


2- use a toothpaste that contains whitening pearls


3- chew whitening gum constantly


4- smoke less, drink less coffee and tea


5- a little bit of baking soda with water on top of your brush, once or twice a week could do miracles!


...


or you could just go to the clinic and have your teeth whitened..
Reply:well its funny you should bring that up


i did a science fair project in 8th grade about 6yrs ago.


i tested over the counter products n i got down to 2 products


crest white strips n a toothpaste called bright`n`white


the strips are expensive and the toothpaste costs like 6-7 bucks not bad n it worked. i got the t-paste from wal*mart


after the fair was over ppl kept saying wow ur teeth r white n im the definition procrastinator. it took me like 3 weeks b4 to come up with everything so u can say bout a week for some whitening to happen





if ur pockets r deep jes go to the dentist they will hook u up good.





so g%26#039;luck
Reply:OK, 1st off, brush more. You should brush at the very least 2 times a day. It is better if you carry around a tooth brush and just do a quick brushing after meals or other sweets just to get rid of those acids and debris on the teeth. Crest white strips work well too but don%26#039;t bother getting the %26quot;premium%26quot; or %26quot;anti aging%26quot; they just cost more and work the same. If you don%26#039;t want to spend on those you can brush with peroxide (the kind you use for cuts, in the dark brown bottle) and baking soda. This whitens and kills germs. Also floss often! After flossing it is good to rinse with 1/2 water and 1/2 peroxide.

Naturally yellow teeth..?

Anyway i can whiten my teeth? I have very yellow teeth, but they%26#039;re healthy. I brush my teeth three times a day, morning, afternoon, and before i sleep. I brush really hard, try baking soda, and nothings working. My parents wont let me get them bleached, or go to a dentist or let me get whitning trays. I even use the Flouride stuff to avoid cavities, etc. It%26#039;s a genetic thing, since my mom%26#039;s side of the family has healthy, but yellow teeth. My mom has yellow teeth, my grandma, my great grandma had yellow teeth. All naturally yellow. I dont drink coffee, and i sure don%26#039;t smoke. What can i do!?

Naturally yellow teeth..?
I%26#039;m not too sure abt it. However, there are many ways to whiten your teeth.








Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth!





For home remedies.





Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month.





Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening.





Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth.





Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains.





If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here%26#039;s something for you!





Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night

Reply:Try Crest White Strips. They work very well and are fairly inexpensive. (About $35 at WalMart)





I would also recommend that you stop brushing %26quot;really hard%26quot; as over time this will wear down the enamel and weaken your teeth.





I hope this helps.
Reply:Some people have naturally yellow teeth, I believe it might be some kind of vitamin deficiency or something.
Reply:whitestrips trust me i have the same problem and they work!! everyone always compliments me on how white my teeth are

Yellow teeth?

What is the best way to whiten them?

Yellow teeth?
People who do not give useful answers should not be on this site. I apologize for the person above.





Any way, I %26#039;m sure you brush your teeth as we all do. Coffee, and other things can unfortunately turn our teeth colors. Or maybe it happened while taking medications. Either way this is what I do, baking soda with a little hydrogen peroxide will make a paste and brush with that.


Rumor has it peroxide may cause teeth sensitivity but I know this is what they use for all the teeth whiteners in the store.





Good luck!
Reply:BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!





UPDATE: this is a good answer, thats why you get yellow teeth is cause you dont brush enough. or just go to the dentist to get them whiten.





UPDATE!!!!: for real!! brush your teeth!! my teeth were yellow too, until i started to brush my teeth more. now my sh*t is white as hell. try colgate advance clean
Reply:white gloss paint dulux is best
Reply:I would personally go with Crest Whitestrips.
Reply:I actually asked the dentist this on friday. He told me that although there are so any of these whitening products available on the market that all the do is bring your teeth back to their natural colour. Hence if you have nayurally yellow teeth like me..nothing will work except getting them professionally whitened!
Reply:ok outside of the obvious brushing. the dentist can whiten them. i use Zoom tooth whitening. the dentist charges 800 to apply but i just buy it online for 100 and apply myself. but this stuff is very strong makes them bright white in 3 days i usually just use for 1 night
Reply:Crest WhiteStrips or you can Bleach them.
Reply:Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries but certain precautions have to be taken. I found the information at http://www.aches.in/toothwhitening.html

Yellow teeth?

I brush them every day but they are still yellow.I try the stuff they sell on tv but didn%26#039;t work.I NEED HELP.

Yellow teeth?
Do you drink a lot of tea or coffee? That will make your teeth yellow.





Not everyone has naturally bright white teeth - natural colors of teeth range from brilliant white to a much duller white.





If the whitening toothpastes and usual treatments don%26#039;t work you may need cosmetic help from a dentist to get your teeth whiter.

or drink coffee
Reply:Brush your teeth with lemon and baking soda about 3 times a week. I%26#039;ll help I do that all the time.
Reply:A good dentist and some baking soda. Works for me.
Reply:Maybe you are lacking calcium or flouride. Go see a dentist. You know, HEALTHY teeth are much more important than PRETTY teeth. Do you smoke or drink a lot of coffee or soda? They might be stained. I would try baking soda...make a paste with a little and some water and brush your teeth with that. It might help to take off some stains. It is also great when you are broke and run out of toothpaste.


One person said to use lemon juice and baking soda...don%26#039;t do that! Lemon juice is VERY acidic, and will eat away at the enamil on your teeth. For a while, they will look white and pretty. That is the enamil being eaten away. Then you will start to get divets along the gum line...not healthy. Don%26#039;t try this you will regret it. I ate a lot of lemons when I was younger, and had to pay a dentist a lot of money to fix my teeth.
Reply:Consult a dentist they can tell you how to solve the problem and what to cut out so that the problem does not persist
Reply:Crest White Strips inexpensive and they work
Reply:Brush everyday with a whitening tooth paste..Whitening expressions is awesome..Also go to your dentist regularly...Use a whitening gel with trays they are pretty cheap at wal mart
Reply:go to a dentist
Reply:my dentist said some people do have yellow teeth. I got the same darn problem. nothing has worked. they shine more but still yellow.
Reply:Usually with a routine cleaning and x-rays which ranges from $5-$80 depending if you only have a insurance co-pay or pay straight out mant dentists offer %26quot;FREE%26quot; teeth whitening for new patients, so I%26#039;d do that!
Reply:combination of baking soda, Listerine and toothpaste. Make a paste and use this concoction three times a day. Don%26#039;t forget the tongue.
Reply:go to your dentist and ask him what he recommends. you can buy teeth whitening kits from the chemist but I think some of these can damage your teeth, far safer to ask your dentists opinion. if you smoke, this yellows the teeth, so you should stop first or the treatment will be useless.
Reply:Remember, when you brush, you are removing all the plaque which acts as a protective coating over your teeth during the day. Therefore, they are most vulnerable for an hour or two after brushing so don%26#039;t smoke (anything) for awhile afterwards %26amp; ditto for ingesting staining types of drinks like coffee, tea %26amp; dark colored sodas. Also, lay off the weed,meth %26amp; crack cuz they take a heavy toll on your teeth as well.
Reply:YOUR BEST OPTION IS TO SEE YOUR DENTIST. THEIR PRODUCTS ARE THE STRONGEST%26amp;SAFEST. USUALLY YOU SEE RESULTS IMMEDIATELY BUT IT CAN BE COSTLY. IF THAT%26#039;S NOT AN OPTION TRY OVER THE COUNTER PRODUCTS LIKE CREST STRIPS %26amp; WHITENING TOOTHPASTE LIKE ARM%26amp;HAMMER OR MENTADENT. THEY MUST BE USED REGULARLY TO SEE RESULTS %26amp; IT CAN TAKE 3-4 WKS DEPENDING ON THE STAINING. AVOID THE %26quot;TRAY%26quot; PRODUCTS CAUSE THEY CAN HARM YOUR GUMS. COLA PRODUCTS, COFFEE, TEA, RED WINES %26amp; SMOKING CAN STAIN YOUR TEETH SO IF YOU DRINK ANY OF THOSE OR SMOKE YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE STAINING. IF YOU MUST DRINK THOSE PRODUCTS TRY TO RINSE W/WATER RIGHT AWAY OR BRUSH.
Reply:its placate u need to see your dentist he or she can help u alot and tell u the best way to go
Reply:I just tried the Walmart brand Whitestrips for the last 10 days or so. They helped a little, but I%26#039;m going to buy the Crest Whitestrips now %26amp; see if they work better.





Make sure to see your dentist 2x a year for check-up %26amp; cleaning.
Reply:There are several reasons for staining and yellow teeth:


1. As you get older your teeth age and one side effect is yellowing of your teeth


2. Smoking causes stainging as well as increases perio disease


3. Coffee and dark colored sodas sometimes contribute


4. Coffee and teas cause brownish stainings


5. Medication and prescription or other drug use


6. HEREDITY!








Depending on your situation as you look through the list first try to find out what might be causing you yellowing and if possible try to make changes. Then, I would recommend going to the Dentist and get a cleaning done. Theres in office whitening systems. Effective but costly. Another choice is Crest Whitestrips. Cost efficient, quick 7days usually, painless. Just done overdo it! Follow instructions. If it says to use for 7 days then use for 7 days not 14 days. Longer use dosen%26#039;t men whiter teeth. If you overdo it then it could hurt your teeth in the long run. Oh and also. While your buying that Whitestrip kit pick up some sensitive tothpaste also. The biggest side effect to whitening products is sensitivity especially to cold. But usually after completeing the whitening the sensitivity subsides. Good Luck!
Reply:If you want whiter teeth then first of all go see your dentist for a cleaning and exam. The cleaning will remove any extrinsic stains on your teeth caused by such things as smoking and drinking dark beverages. The cleaning will also remove calculus which cannot be removed by you at home with a toothbrush. Speak with the dentist about whitening and see what he or she recommends. I would not recommend using any over-the-counter whitening products as they are not ADA approved. I also would not recommend the whitening toothpastes because they are very abrasive and can cause potential damage to the enamel of your teeth. Also, make sure you practice good oral hygiene by brushing 2-3 times a day and flossing at least once a day in addition to seeing your dentist every 6 months for cleanings. In the future try to avoid those things that do stain your teeth.

Yellow teeth?

My teeth are so yellow even after i brush because of all the stains on them. What is a good at home treatment for them?

Yellow teeth?
I started using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to whiten my teeth. I dip my toothbrush in the baking soda and then add two drops of hydrogen peroxide and brush for a minute or two. You should only do it once a week. In my opinion it works better than whiteners and is a lot cheaper
Reply:I know this probably sounds gross but gargle Hydrogen Peroxide, honestly is doesn%26#039;t taste that bad and it also helps with cold sores and other mouth sores. But it will help whiten your teeth. Also you can buy whitening stripes they help but are so expensive that I would stick with the Peroxide. Hope this helps... I use it and so do many of my friends!!
Reply:salt... gargle water with salt... or brush your teeth using salt.once in a while!. it can even make your teeth more strong that toothpaste!


and it works! really!
Reply:You can buy DIY whitening kits at most pharmacies.
Reply:make sure you brush them properly, get all the plaque off - not too rough or it will damage the gum...





i used to have yellow teeth - but now i brush them so much better - im 16 - no cavities
