Your smile is a big thing. It’s one of the first things people notice about you, and the first things people talk about when you are not around. No matter how many times you brush a day there are things that can give you yellow teeth like; coffee, age, and smoking. My vice for the longest time was Starbuck’s coffee! I would drink three a day and if it was a rough one I might have a cup at home too. Finally $4.00 a coffee, the lack of sleep and yellow teeth snuck up on me. I had lost my beautiful smile and along with it went some of my confidence. I needed to find a way to rid myself of my yellow teeth.

1. After the research I decided to go to the dentist and get my teeth professionally whitened. The cost was about $300 but it saved me in the long run.

2. Another way to whiten your teeth is gargling with peroxide. DON’T swallow it though. Those scrubbing bubbles will scrub away the yellow on your teeth over time. You need to leave the peroxide in your mouth for at least a couple of minutes for this to make an impact.

3. There are teeth whitening products on the market, but my suggestion is to go to your dentist and get the one he/she recommends. Buying over the counter without the research may take a lot of money out of your pocket and deliver minimal if any results in the meantime.

4. Discover the cause of how your teeth got yellow and reduce or eliminate the cause. (I could never give up coffee but I could cut it down to 1-2 cups a day.)

Getting rid of yellow teeth is important to a lot of people. I only went with cutting down on the cause and getting my teeth professionally done but there are many more “how to”s out there on getting rid of yellow teeth. I have a lot of friends out there that have decided to do nothing and it has really impacted their self esteem and believe it or not how other people look at them. Regardless of what you decide to do, make sure you do something. It will make you feel better and allow you to regain the confidence you may not know you have lost.
