Stained or yellow teeth is typically the result of food and drink consumed regularly, and a dental cleaning can usually erase those stains.
However, genetics can also be a root cause of discoloured teeth and more difficult to treat. Genes passed down from parents may mean that the tooth enamel is thinner than normal which can lead to teeth that can be:
- Susceptible to sensitivity
- More yellow than normal
- Prone to decay
Genetics is “only partially responsible in many cases” and maintaining a good dental health regimen will help overcome any predisposition to yellow teeth.
