Yellow teeth and breaking

2017-08-02 15:48:37
Even though I brush my teeth twice a day my tooth appears to be yellow in color and sometimes they are breaking into small pieces. There are small black marks on the top of canines. Please tell me what should I do? M 21, single and non smoker.

Generally colour of your teeth is dependent on the thickness of enamel and colour of dentin which are layers of the tooth. It remains constant like skin or eye colour but sometimes deposits on teeth  or loss of enamel ( outer layer) may give it yellowish appearance. A scaling or cleaning would be beneficial to remove the surface deposits but the natural colour of the tooth will not change. For that bleaching procedure can be done... Bleaching is done only in patients with healthy enamel or else it can cause sensitive teeth. Best to visit a dentist for a check up to consider your options.
