The key to a beautiful smile is to avoid having it spoiled by bad
dentition, especially yellow teeth. Teeth can take on an unsightly yellow
color.
There may be internal causes, such as certain treatments or a lack of
saliva, but there are also and above all external causes, such as smoking, poor
dental hygiene, or an excessively sweet or acidic diet. Dental plaque is the
colorless substance made up of bacteria and food residues that sticks to teeth,
turning them yellow. It originates in food and drink, but also in saliva, and
affects everyone.
Fighting plaque
Impeccable dental hygiene is essential. Plaque,
combined with sugars from food and drink, generates acidic substances that
attack tooth enamel and gums, leading to cavities, gingivitis and even
periodontal problems. Good dental health means brushing after every
meal. In the event of yellowing, consult a dentist.
