Yellowishness of teeth
Hello doctor. Im 30 year old male working as a software engineer. I have a problem in teeth which is the yellowish colour that really affects my confidence level and dents my appearance.
Let me explain this to you in detail. Right from my childhood, my teeth are yellowish(not dark yellow) but still, that is something which makes everyone to shoot a question on me whether im a smoker or betel addict. Even though im not. I'll somehow manage it by answering that its a hereditary problem.
Im really embarrassed and that puts me down every time. Im very badly affected in such a way that I hide my teeth during laughing as im ashamed as displaying the yellowish teeth. Is there a permanent solution for this. Please help me out.

Dentistry is much advanced these days then it was 10 or 20 years back and there are many treatment options for cases like yours. From what I can understand by your description, you have intrinsic stains on your teeth which are most commonly caused by high fluoride level of groundwater. These fluoride stains cannot be removed by brushing because they are imbibed in the chemical structure of the tooth. At the same time we can expect some yellowish extrinsic deposits On The Teeth which are called as calculus, and these can be removed by simple procedure of teeth cleaning by ultrasonic scaling.
As regards the permanent fluorosis stains, there are multiple treatment modalities you can choose from which can vary from bleaching of the teeth (which is temporary As a rule and might take multiple sessions for acceptable results), to laminates or veneers, all even metal free Zirconia Crowns.
The best option is to first visit a dentist for a proper case evaluation so that the right options applicable for your case can be outlined and explained to you.
Alternatively you can post the clinical picture of the affected teeth on Practo for an online consultation with a specialist.
Regards.
