It has probably happened to you: you look in the mirror after brushing your teeth and think, \"Why do they still look yellow?\". Don't stress out! There is a huge myth that yellow teeth are a sign of dirtiness, but the truth is that it goes much deeper. The color of your smile depends on your genes, how your body is on the inside, and even how porous your enamel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re one of those people who brushes three times a day, uses dental floss, and still can't get that commercial-white look, this post is for you! We\u2019re going to talk about why this happens and how at AM Dental Studio (Zapopan)<\/strong> we help you when the toothbrush just can't do any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's be clear: What's the deal with the color of your teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To understand why the shade of your teeth changes, you have to see what\u2019s \"under the hood.\" Your tooth isn't a solid white piece; it's more like an onion with layers, and light plays tricks on them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Enamel (The outer layer):<\/strong> It is the hardest part of your entire body. Imagine it as a crystal that protects the tooth. But, watch out! Enamel has no color<\/strong>. It is transparent, so it lets you see what is underneath.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Dentin (The true color):<\/strong> Here is the secret! Dentin is the heart of the tooth, and its natural color is yellowish or even slightly orange.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So why do they look yellow?<\/strong> Easy! It's due to a light effect. If your enamel is thin or has worn down over the years, the dentin becomes more visible. It\u2019s not that the tooth is \"dirty,\" it\u2019s just that the transparent layer has become thinner, letting the color inside show through. It\u2019s as simple as that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Expert Tip:<\/strong> Tooth color is inherited! Just as you got your mother's eyes or your father's nose, you also inherit the thickness of your enamel. If everyone in your family has slightly darker teeth, it's very likely that you will too\u2014and there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with that!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    If you feel like your teeth don\u2019t shine like they used to or you get \"shocks\" from cold water, check out the difference between tooth sensitivity and pain<\/a>. Better safe than sorry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4 reasons why your smile got \"shy\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Your genes: Your dental \"inheritance\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Not everyone is born to have polar-white teeth. There are people here in Guadalajara who, due to pure genetics, have warmer or more yellowish tones. If this is your case, trying to whiten them with home remedies will only frustrate you, because you are fighting against your own DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. The little treats of the Guadalajara diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We love to eat well! But many of our daily pleasures cause staining:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
