Our ‘pearly whites’ don’t always keep that bright white colour we wish they did. Let us brighten your smile!
Feel like you are trying everything to whiten your teeth? Brushing twice a day? Flossing? Not to mention, all the fad supermarket whitening products? You still find those yellow teeth are not the shade you dream of?
We know that discoloured or stained teeth can be embarrassing but it doesn't need to be permanent. At Maven Dental, we have teeth whitening treatments available that are not only dental grade, but both cost-effect and long lasting.
Symptoms of Yellow Teeth
Stained teeth can range from brown spots and yellow tints to white streaks on the enamel. You may have a couple of yellow or discoloured teeth, which you may notice stand out against the others. Sometimes all teeth may appear discoloured or stained.
If a whiter, brighter more confident smile is what you are after, book an appointment with a Maven dentist to discuss your options.
Causes of Yellow Teeth
When it comes to the causes of the discolouration, there are many factors that contribute depending upon your lifestyle and dental history, which include:
- What you eat and drink regularly – Highly acidic foods, pigmented food, coffee, red wine, soft drinks, and smoking can all contribute to the stains and discolouration.
- The discolouration from the tooths inner structure, caused by too much exposure to fluoride, medications, nerve damage, or even tooth trauma.
- Age related discolouration as the enamel gets thinner it causes a change in the tooth colour.

- Practice good oral hygiene at home including brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day.
- Book routine hygiene & check-up visits with a dentist or dental hygienist every 6 months or as advised by your dentist.
