Ageing and Yellow Teeth

As we age, many of us may notice that our teeth look dull or appear yellow. This shift can be imperceptible or, for others, rather big and it’s completely normal.

As you age, the enamel (the hard outer layer of your teeth) wears away and gradually thins out, exposing more of the dentine underneath which is naturally a yellow shade.

Over time, too, those years of drinking coffee and tea or red wine, eating certain foods can leave behind stains that age your smile more than you might feel on the inside.

At Smile60, we know that there is more importance to your smile than simply a warm welcome not only does having a confident and radiant smile make you look good it actually makes you feel great too!

Why Are My Teeth Yellowing With Age Is It An Inevitable Thing?

Yes, teeth can darken with age (which is why we copy-editors are forever trying to find words way to mean white), but it’s not something you simply have to live with.

The inner layer (dentine) starts to show through the outer enamel as it becomes thinner, which can increase the appearance of darker or yellow teeth. Factor in years of staining foods and drinks, and it can feel like the shine has gone out of your smile.

But here’s the good news: It’s not permanent.

With professional treatments such as laser teeth whitening from Smile60 Ageing and Yellow Teeth, you can undo a lot of the yellowing and safely whiten your smile back to that dazzling white desirable glow. So although it’s a normal part of aging, you don’t have to take it lying down.

What Are the Advantages of Treating Yellow Teeth Aside From Appearance?

Whitening your teeth is more than a cosmetic change; it affects the way you perceive yourself and helps bring out the best in you.

When you see your cleaner, fresher smile, you automatically illuminated by more of a smile. That one small adjustment can give you a mood lift, aid in your interactions with others and even improve first impressions on the job or as you make your way through daily life.

And by paying attention to the yellow teeth, we also take better care of our oral hygiene.

What Causes Yellow Teeth As We Age

There are several reasons teeth tend to yellow more as we get older:

✔Thinning of the enamel revealing the more yellow dentine underneath

✔All of the staining foods and drinks-coffee, tea, wine, some fruits

✔Tobacco tar and nicotine remain in carpets for a long time

✔Dry mouth with less saliva there is more plaque and staining

✔Medications a few antibiotics or high blood pressure drugs may discolor teeth.

So what really can prevent this? You can’t stop time’s marching forward, but you may be able to slow down the yellowing. Good oral hygiene, professional dental cleanings, reducing consumption of staining foods and drinking plenty of water all help.
