I am having a bad case of yellow teeth after I did a recent scaling/deep cleaning due to gum recession. The gums got better when I noticed that my entire upper teeth were slowly getting yellow + feel weird with my bite too (due to sensitivity maybe). I brushed twice a day, used a fluoride toothpaste as well. Is it a permanent deal? Any remedies or I can only prevent it from getting worse? Am I more susceptible to tooth decay now?

Cause of discoloration ? smoking, coffee, tea, drugs, aging, staining food (wine, blueberry, etc.) genetics. You may have a yellow bacterial film called ?plaque? that occurs naturally in mouth that can build up. If not removed it hardens to form tartar. Advise deep cleaning, polishing, whitening (bleaching) procedures, artificial enamel filling or capping. Advance procedures can be done with laser. Use snowdent tooth paste for whitening until then. Apply snowdent paste on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min. Then brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight for better results. You may consult me in person.
