Yellow teeth doesn't always mean your teeth are dirty or unhealthy! 🤔And no, perfectly white teeth aren't natural for most people. Here's why 👉
Under your white outer layer (enamel) is a layer called dentin, which is naturally yellowish. In some people, the enamel is thinner or more translucent, so that yellow tone shows more. That's why two people with equally healthy teeth can have very different natural shades.
Over time, things like coffee, tea, smoking, aging, and certain foods can also stain your enamel and make it look darker.
The truth? Naturally off-white or slightly yellow teeth are often completely normal!
