Causes of Yellow stained Teeth and Home Remedy to it

Causes of Yellow Teeth:
1. The water we use
We generally drink purified water, but for brushing or cleaning mouth or teeth, we use tap water which has many micro-organisms and chemicals that causes Yellow Teeth over a period of time.

The food and drink like soda, tobacco, coffee, tea and berries cause Yellow teeth because of the “chromogenic” agents in these products.

1. Brush your teeth two times a day once in the morning and once in the night after dinner. Also rinse your mouth properly after you eat anything. Even rinse after you drink cold drinks, tea, coffee. That keeps your teeth healthy and stain free.
2. Avoid gel type of tooth paste. Use good tooth paste recommended by dentist.
3. Use charcoal powder with your tooth paste while brushing. It removes the Yellow Stain from teeth and also gives shining to teeth.
