Dental (yellowing of teeth)
Hlww my age is 21
From past few months im noticing my teeth are slowly becoming yellow inspite of regular brush. I don't have any tooth decay either. Also the gaps between teeth are increasing and food materials getting stuck. Visible yellow lines + some yellow can be seen on teeth what may be the problem. I don't feel any pain either just teeth are becoming yellowish and gaps are increasing.
What might be problem and solution?

Please get an opinion from a Periodontist for the yellowing of your teeth and the condition of your gums.
If there are no deep or superficial decay, Or no gum problems, you can go in for tooth whitening/bleaching for the yellowness that you are complaining of
Take care. Stay safe.

Hello
Yellowness of teeth and food lodgement, increasing of gaps: all these indicate that some gum problem such as pyrrohoea is initiating in your teeth. Once the calculus deposits are there, then in spite of your brushing regularly they will not get removed on their own, you will have to get a professional dental cleaning done for it. Just upload some photographs for a better clarity or else it would be best that you visit your nearby dental clinic, get them properly examined and get cleaning done. Teeth cleaning or scaling is a very normal routine dental procedure that is recommended to be done every 6 months that will remove all the deposits and you will stop feeling that yellowness in your teeth.
