My teeth are yellow

[rayray2]

And my cat's breath smells like cat food. BA-DUM-CHING!

No, seriously..

It sure would be nice if they were pearly white. Should I get laser whitening done at the Dentist? I wonder how much that costs.... What about those over-the-counter whitening strips/gels, do they work?

Crest Whitestrips do work.

I've always wondered why the dentist won't let you have all your teeth pulled and just go straight to dentures. Who wants to wait 2+ years to get results with braces when you can get them the same day if you come in early enough?!

Stop smoking and drinking coffee. Beer also contributes to bad gums.

stop placing so much emphasis on the color of your teeth.

People with yellow teeth are ugly. I have yet to see someone, who after seeing a bunch of yellow teeth, looks hot.

Don't smoke. Now that I think about it, they do seem to have gotten darker since I started drinking starbucks again a month or so ago...

The natural color of teeth do have a yellowish tint to them. White teeth arent natural. It requires either harsh chemicals that eat away at the teeth, or requires your teeth to be ground down so porcelian can be bonded to them.

Now really yellow teeth is not normal, but I doubt thats what you are talking about.

smoking
coffee
pure neglect

it's one of those 3 or a combination...

brush more often
stop drinking coffee
stop smoking
use whitener

yes, the true measure of a person is the color of his teeth.

I never said it was the true measure of a person. But if a person doesn't take care of their teeth, then I would assume they don't take care of themselves very well either. Not 100% accurate, but it weeds out some potential bad choices.

Do what I'm doing, get them bleached.

He's right - people with nasty teef are usually people I try to avoid if possible. Superficial, maybe...but that's just my opinion.

Bad teef = bad breath = unpleasant to work with, kiss, be around, etc.

I had 2 teeth bashed in after a trampoline accident and had to have root canals done on them as they "died" - they later bleached them. That part SUCKED... I wonder if they still do it the same way - that was like 6-7 years ago.

They are gonna take molds of my teeth, then I have to wear them with the whitening agent at night while I sleep for a week. My mother had it done (she's a smoker), and her teeth look VERY white. My teeth are discolored because I breathe through my mouth 75% of the time due to constricted nostrils, so everytime I wake up from sleeping, I usually have a thick film on my teeth from the crap that's in the air. That's what caused my yellowing, so I decided that I'm going to fix that
