Are Whiter Teeth Healthier?

Everybody loves to have whiter teeth. Our culture finds the look attractive, and it makes us feel clean. But is it actually any healthier, or is it merely an aesthetic obsession?

Yellow Teeth

If you ask most people if they want yellow teeth, it’s obvious what the answer will be. Most people don’t want yellow teeth. They aren’t seen as appealing and most people view them as a sign of poor oral hygiene and lack of care. But is it true?

The reality is natural teeth are supposed to have a light yellow tint. Teeth aren’t naturally supposed to be perfectly white, which is why we need products and dental visits to help make them that way.

The dentin beneath your enamel is yellow. Meanwhile, enamel on your teeth is translucent, so the yellow is supposed to show through.

While white teeth are the society standard, they’re actually not any healthier than yellow teeth. Now, if teeth are dark yellow it’s a problem, but light yellow teeth are what a healthy set of teeth look like.

This shouldn’t discourage you from whitening your teeth. Rather, it should serve as a comfort to those who don’t partake in whitening. Know that the light yellow in your teeth is natural and not a sign of poor dental hygiene.
