There is nothing worse than the horrifying looks of yellow teeth. While this happens for many reasons ranging from too much caffeine and tea to taking a ton of antibiotics to your diet it can often be treated. However the cost for the treatment can be quiet costly and cost hundreds of dollars. Often times many dental plans won’t even cover this as it’s considered cosmetic and that leaves you with a huge bill. Why pay all that money when you have a host of ingredients that are right in your kitchen or can be purchased at your local grocery store for just a few dollars. Today we are going to show you the top ten home remedies for whitening your teeth.

Tooth Staining
Smiles have a huge impact on first impressions. Stained teeth can make a smile look unsightly and can be the source of embarrassment, affecting a person’s confidence and self-esteem. The colour of the teeth is of particular cosmetic importance to a large number of people who seek dental treatment to improve their appearance. Knowing the cause of staining may influence dental hygiene treatment options and outcomes.
TYPES OF TOOTH STAINS
There are two main types of tooth stains:
Intrinsic stains – occur inside the tooth structure and cannot be removed by professional scaling (cleaning) or polishing. Stains can result from alterations during tooth development, associated with antibiotic use
(tetracycline), trauma, infection and dental fluorosis – swallowing large amounts of fluoride that cause white/brown spots on teeth and weaken the enamel.
Extrinsic stains – appear on the tooth surface and can usually be removed by professional scaling or polishing. Stains occur from dyes in food, beverages, tobacco, mouth rinses, exposure to metallic compounds, the presence of chromogenic bacteria (colour-producing bacteria) and poor oral hygiene. The stains are absorbed onto tooth surface deposits such as plaque bacteria (white, sticky substance) that accumulate on teeth, especially around the gum line.

How to Make Your Teeth Whiter (without destroying your enamel)

Our culture is becoming increasingly fascinated with white teeth. With ‘news’ stories in front of us everyday showing us celebrities with their shiny, very white teeth, it seems that so many of us these days want to have an ultra white smile too.

We are told that conventional teeth whitening (bleaching) is safe from experts. Yet others warn of the risks of conventional teeth whitening. Much of the confusion stems from the fact that the ‘facts’ around teeth whitening have been blurred intentionally. Then we hear how Julia Roberts only uses baking soda to keep her smile bright. But is baking soda even a safe option?

There is always a way to whiten your teeth

RISK FACTORS
• Plaque forms a rough surface on enamel where stains can attach, giving teeth a dull and unsightly appearance.
• Poor oral hygiene allows plaque and stains to build up.
• Some restorations and crowded teeth can make plaque removal difficult.
• Dry mouth and the absence of saliva to wash away food and harmful bacteria promote plaque growth.
If you whiten teeth too often the enamel can wear down and weaken the tooth. It is for this reason that prevention (brushing your teeth and regularly visiting your dentist) is better for your oral health in the long run!
Always brush your teeth after eating or drinking something sweet.
Do not put things on your teeth without knowing if it is good or bad - always consult your dentist first.
Avoid drinking beverages like coffee, coke, and beer. These are known to stain the teeth. If you do choose to drink them, drinking through a straw can minimize contact of the fluids with your teeth.
