can you get yellow teeth back to white?

Getting your teeth clean is something you can do a lot better with Electric Toothbrushes than with manual ones.

But is cleaning your teeth the same as making them whiter? While cleaning them might help them appear whiter, it doesn’t really count as whitening.

As such, brushing your teeth alone is not really enough to get your teeth white.

However, yes, you can actually whiten your teeth even if they’ve yellowed a bit, and it really isn’t that hard to do that either!

Can you get your yellow teeth back to white?

If you’re wondering about if you can get your yellow teeth back to white, you don’t really need to worry too much.

You can, fairly easily, get your yellow teeth back to white. In fact, there is more than one method that allows you to achieve this end, which is a great thing because you can choose the method that suits you the best.

However, all these methods have one fundamental process of working- by using something abrasive to actually get rid of the uppermost layer of your enamel and bringing out the inner, whiter layer.

[But there’s one small problem to overusing this method as well- keep reading to find out!]

The main methods of getting your yellow teeth back to white are as follows:

Method 1: By Using Baking Soda

One of the best and simplest methods that you might want to go for is to use baking soda. Baking soda is abrasive in nature and can easily be used to actually whiten your teeth. Tooth advocates has already prepared an entire article discussing how you might exactly use baking soda and what are the pros and cons to using baking soda to whiten your teeth.

Method 2: By using an abrasive toothpaste.

Honestly, you can actually pretty much use any toothpaste that is high on silica content. while all toothpastes do have a certain silica content to try to whiten your teeth, it really isn’t enough to turn yellowed teeth back white.

So, what you might want to do is look for a toothpaste that is actually high on abrasive property. Quite a few toothpastes such as Tom’s are praised by quite a few of their customers to actually be able to whiten their teeth pretty effectively. (Click here to view it on Amazon)

Method 3: Using Hydrogen Peroxide.

Yet another pretty good idea is to go ahead and use hydrogen Peroxide to serve your purpose. Quoting Healthline,

Hydrogen peroxide is a natural bleaching agent that also kills bacteria in your mouth..

In fact, people have been using hydrogen peroxide for years to disinfect wounds because of its ability to kill bacteria.

Many commercial whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide, although at a much higher concentration than you will use..

One way to use hydrogen peroxide is as a mouthwash before you brush your teeth. Make sure you are using a 1.5% or 3% solution to avoid side effects.

The most common concentration of hydrogen peroxide at the drugstore is a 3% solution. You can easily dilute this concentration to 1.5% by mixing equal parts peroxide and water.

What is the problem with overusing this method?

Getting your tooth to be whiter seems like a great idea all the time and seems very tempting- I understand.

But you need to know that the process actually involves sort of peeling off the uppermost layer of your enamel to bring out the inner layers.

So, overusing is not a good idea because you would actually end up damaging your enamel irreparably. If that’s something that you don’t want to do, then you might want to stick to using this method with moderation.

Is it okay to brush 3 times a day?

Quite a few people I know actually brush trice a day. Dental professionals do not really recommend brushing more than twice a day, but these people seemed to have actually achieved fairly nice results by doing so.

So, I went ahead and actually did my research and figured out that it probably really is the best to not brush more than twice a day because you don’t want to get your enamel eroded too quickly. While brushing thrice a day might be fine for some people, it really is not something that’s recommended in general by dentists, and we should probably leave it to the professionals.
