For naturally yellow teeth, the following methods can be used to address the issue:
1. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth twice daily (morning and night) using proper techniques to keep teeth clean.
2. Pay attention to dietary habits—avoid excessive intake of pigmented foods and drinks, and consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, and tomatoes, which may help whiten teeth.
3. Cold-light whitening is a technique that uses high-concentration hydrogen peroxide combined with special blue light to break down and remove internal tooth pigmentation.
4. Porcelain veneers involve bonding a thin layer of material, matched to the color of natural teeth, onto the tooth surface to cover deep intrinsic discoloration.
Before choosing any whitening method, it is recommended to consult a dentist first. After teeth whitening, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to prevent re-accumulation of pigmentation.
