1. What Does
Your Tooth
Color
Mean?

2. 2
Details
The shape and color
of your teeth is as unique
as your fingerprint.
The original color of your
teeth was determined during
their development.

3. 3
Details
The thickness of the enamel
combined with the darkness
of the underlying dentin affect
just how white they look.

4. 4
Details
Over time, everyone’s teeth
change colors.
Aging is one of the most
common causes of yellow teeth.

5. Aim for White
to Light Yellow
Shades

6. 6
Details
Seeing a sparkling white smile
on the movie screen might leave
you wanting to hide your teeth
behind your hand.

7. 7
Details
If you worry that your smile
is slightly yellow, then you can
rest assured that most people’s
teeth aren’t snow white.

8. Tooth enamel is slightly translucent.
This allows the dentin below the
surface to sometimes show through.

9. Dentin also darkens as you age,
which can further increase
the yellow color of your teeth.
Regular dental cleanings can help
you feel confident that any yellow
shades are natural rather than stains.

10. Be Wary of a Tooth
That Suddenly
Turns Gray

11. 11
Details
As a general rule, teeth rarely
change colors quickly.
Instead, natural yellowing tends
to occur over a period of years.

12. 12
Details
A tooth that suddenly turns gray
might be reacting to an infection
or dental trauma.
This type of color change
is not reversible.

13. 13
Details
A root canal and restoration
is usually the best treatment
for a dying tooth.
A dental crown will cover
the old tooth so that the color
matches the rest of your smile.

14. Get Brown and Black
Spots Checked
for Decay

15. 15
Brown spots can come from several different sources. Tobacco products,
tea and dark-colored soda can all create brown stains.

16. 16
A brown spot that seems to have always been there might merely be a sign
that you ingested too much fluoride as a child. Early tooth decay often
begins as brown spots that get darker as the enamel breaks down.

17. 17
Details
Black spots could be stains.
These sometimes show up in
the ridges of your teeth.

18. 18
Details
Older metal fillings can darken
and cause parts of your tooth
to look black.
Since black areas are often
cavities, you’ll want to get them
checked out as soon as possible.

19. Find Out Your
Options to Whiten
Discolorations

20. 20
Details
Tooth colors can be caused
by issues that affect the surface
of the enamel.
These are called extrinsic stains.

21. 21
Details
They can also be impacted
by developmental issues
or infections occurring within
the tooth and can be harder
to treat.

22. 22
Details
Stains from food and other
materials on the surface
of your teeth respond well
to teeth whitening.
Your dentist can also treat stains
by polishing your teeth during
a dental cleaning.

23. 23
Details
If the discolorations are beneath
the surface, your dentist can use
bonding, veneers or a crown
to cover them up.

24. The color of your teeth reveals
many things about your dental
health and general lifestyle.
Watching for changes
in the color can help you
catch developing oral health
issues faster.

25. You can also use keeping
a bright white smile
as motivation to keep up
with your hygiene routine
and dental checkups.

26. Although some yellowing
is normal with age,
your hard work with
brushing and flossing can
keep your smile looking
beautiful for a lifetime.

27. Noble Dental Care is a family
oriented dental care clinic
with dentists that care about
you and your health.

28. Give us the opportunity
to give you the smile
of your dreams.
