What to do if teeth turn black after drinking tea

I believe that every Chinese has been exposed to our tea culture to some extent. In some areas of the south, drinking tea has become a way of entertaining guests. When guests come, we should prepare a pot of good tea to entertain them. However, some people believe that drinking tea for a long time will make your teeth black. So, what should you do if your teeth become darker after drinking tea?

It is actually impossible to make your teeth darker by drinking tea just by this single condition. However, if you like to drink strong tea and have a smoking habit, it will aggravate the yellowing of teeth, which is worthy of attention. The different solutions are as follows:

1. If dental plaque and tartar are caused by bad eating habits or unclean oral hygiene habits, it is recommended that you go to the oral department of the hospital for a teeth cleaning, as brushing cannot remove them.

2. If it is fluorosis or tetracycline teeth cleaning, it is difficult to whiten the teeth. You can do teeth bleaching.

3. The scientific name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which is the baking soda used for steaming buns. It can be bought in supermarkets, and a large bag costs only a few dollars. Its whitening effect is actually to remove the more substantial dirt on the surface of teeth. It has little effect on yellow teeth caused by cigarettes and tetracycline. Usage: put a little on the toothpaste when squeezing it. Effect: Mainly for cleaning, has no effect on already discolored teeth.

There are two reasons why teeth turn yellow and black: the influence of the external environment and the factors of the teeth themselves. External factors are mainly caused by long-term smoking, drinking tea, and eating easily dyed foods such as cola. In addition, teeth are easily turned brown by contact with substances such as iron and sulfur, and contact with copper, nickel, and chromium will cause green deposits on the teeth. The main factors of the teeth themselves are:

(1) Pulp death will turn teeth gray;

(2) Taking certain medications or consuming too much of certain substances during the period of tooth development can cause tooth discoloration, such as tetracycline tooth discoloration and dental fluorosis.

(3) As you age, your teeth will turn slightly yellow;

The solutions to “What to do if your teeth become darker due to drinking tea” have been listed for you. For ordinary tea drinkers, just remember to brush your teeth in the morning and evening and don't smoke all the time. And eat fruits and vegetables appropriately. Believe that your teeth will not turn black. I also hope you can protect your teeth.
