TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Brushing your teeth is something you should do every day to keep your teeth healthy. It can also avoid dental problems, including discolored teeth. There are three trivial habits that cause your teeth to look yellow.
1. Excessive consumption of acidic fruits
What you consume can have impacts on the color of your teeth. Not only consuming coffee or soda excessively, eating fruits such as lemon, orange, pineapple can also cause yellow teeth. Eat the fruits in a fair amount and drink water after eating these acidic fruits.
2. Brushing teeth too hard
Avoid brushing your teeth too hard although it may feel cleaner. The activity will actually cause your teeth turn yellow, especially, if your toothpaste contains a lot of detergents. In addition, brushing your teeth too hard will also make your tooth enamel damaged.
3. Using mouthwash too often
For many people, mouthwashes must be a mainstay to evict bad breath. Even though, using mouthwash too often will also trigger the damage to the tooth enamel layer which makes your teeth yellow. It gets worse when you use an acid-containing mouthwash.
