What are the reasons for yellow teeth?

Teeth are naturally yellowish white in color, but if your teeth look more yellowish then that means your teeth are about to compromise aesthetically.

Here are the few reasons mentioned below by which teeth change to yellowish.

1. Food and Drinks: If we take more acidic beverages, coffee, tea and highly pigmented food substances (like Blackberries, blueberries, pomegranates and other dark berries), then there are more chances of teeth getting yellowish and stained.
2. Traumatic accidents of teeth: Tooth trauma is generally caused by accidental fall, this might lead to non-vitalization of teeth, which then lead to yellowish discoloration of teeth. This will generally happen to upper front teeth.
3. Without having a proper diet: Frequent intake of junk foods which are lacking in nutrition. This might lead to premature aging of teeth.
4. Natural yellowing: As age increases, naturally teeth color will change to yellowish.
5. Bruxism: Night grinding habit due to stress etc can cause attrition to teeth which lead to dentine exposure which is yellow in color.
