I have yellowish teeth. But I brush my teeth twice a day and didn't even skip once. What is the reason then?
Does scaling helps to whiten my teeth?

QUOTE(AskTheDent @ Sep 17 2014, 10:27 AM) Yellowish due to tobacco and food stain usually can be whiten back by scaling, because the stain is superficial. But if the yellowish staining is due to thinning of teeth layer ( Our teeth have 2 layers, the outer layer is whiter, and inner layer is yellowish. As time goes by, the outer layer become thinner thus the teeth become more and more yellowish ), then it whitening cant be done by scaling. I think I have this yellowish teeth since I was small. I don't smoke tho. What is the reason causes thinning of teeth layer ?In short, scaling can be helpful for stain that is superficial. Other than that, bleaching is the other option, but the effect is not permanent. I asked one of my friend, in Jitra, Dr Yeoh doing. Whereas in Alor Setar, Klinik Selesa in Simpang Kuala and another clinic opposite Star Parade. Im not sure how is their work, only know they providing the service Btw, I am a dental student to be. Going to start my course next month in Manipal India. |

QUOTE(AskTheDent @ Sep 18 2014, 10:19 AM) Some is just congenital and genetic. If you notice, Indian society has a much whiter teeth, one of the reason is the contrast of their skin color to teeth, making it whiter. But if you just look at the teeth itself, it also appear whiter than other races. Thinning of teeth by by daily wear and tear, or acid attack in some individual. Then I shall try to do scaling to see whether it helps to whiten my teeth or not haha. Good to heard that, i have a few colegue also grad from Manipal, Salem and Chennai. You going for twinning or 5 years there? Must be quite excited ya... Another 2 weeks more I m going to depart already. Mine is twinning. 2years India campus and 3 years in Melaka campus |

You either bear with the pain and let it grow , or you can choose to extract it. And the extraction is going to be a little bit complicated, so the dentist might have to charge you higher. |
