These are shaped to fit onto the surface of the teeth. There is a range of whitening strip products available online and instructions for them vary. Most suggest they should be applied twice a day for 30 minutes. Strips can lighten the teeth by one or two shades. That said, a study notes there is no evidence whitening strips are any more effective than 10 percent carbamide peroxide gel.
The use of carbamide peroxide gel is the ADA recommended method. Whitening rinses are another way to get rid of yellow teeth. They contain oxygen sources such as hydrogen peroxide. These react with the compounds staining the teeth, helping to lift them. Using a rinse twice a day for 1 minute at a time can lead to a one to two shade improvement in tooth color within 3 months.
A review found that charcoal toothpastes may help remove external staining on teeth. Further studies are needed into the extent or rate of stain removal that can be expected. Charcoal toothpastes should be used with caution, as they can cause staining. The charcoal may be hard to remove from the crevices of the teeth and around restorations.
As a person gets older, the white enamel on their teeth becomes worn. When this happens, the calcified tissue underneath starts to show through. This tissue is called dentin, and it has a yellowish color. The last cause is hard to prevent, as it is a natural part of the aging process. However, staining can be reduced by avoiding:.
It is natural for teeth to become slightly yellow as a person ages and their enamel becomes worn. Discoloration from plaque buildup can be reduced by regular brushing.

The best way to keep teeth healthy is through diet and a good oral hygiene routine.

What can I do to help them get to and stay the same shade of white as all my other teeth? From what I understand they're yellow naturally because they're thicker resulting in more dentine or something? I'm not exactly sure what that means but is there a way to "fix" it? Have you tried Crest Whitestrips? As long as your teeth are natural, and not crowns or false, they should whiten considerably!
I've had excellent results with these things I totally wouldn't waste money on full-dental strips just to whiten -two- teeth, first of all. They're supposed to be the off-white color of bone, which is called oddly bone. If your canines are yellowed as opposed to the proper hue of bone , then you might not be getting enough gum stimulation in that part of your mouth. You can try a paste of baking soda and peroxide, covering the outer surface of those teeth, and leave it on for around 5 minutes, then rinsing it back out again.
Once a day, for around a month. However, if your -other- teeth are really and truly white, and your canines are the correct hue of bone and simply appear yellow compared to the white, then you need to go to your dentist and find out why. Also, if your canines are actually greyish, rather than yellowish it's not all that easy to tell for sure if the difference is subtle then there might be some root damage.
If you are an ice or hard-candy cruncher and use your canines to crunch, this is a very likely possibility. You might consider some of the teeth whitening pens. If your brushing habits are not up to scratch, this can make any stains or developing yellow teeth worse. Using dental floss will also make sure that you reach the parts of your teeth that would otherwise go unattended and might be at greater risk.
Be careful however, as brushing your teeth too harshly means you run the risk of eroding away your own enamel, which will reveal more of the dentin layer of your teeth and lead to discolouration. Soft tooth brushes are always recommended rather than medium or hard. This can be exacerbated by the simple fact that, based on our genetics, some of us are born with an extremely thick layer of enamel, and some of us naturally have a very thin layer.
