Slightly yellow teeth are natural and healthy. I’m not talking about stained and overly yellowed teeth but they’re not supposed to look like Chicklets either. Products like white strips use chemicals to wear down the enamel on your teeth so that it strips out the stains, sure, but your teeth will be much more sensitive and/or promise to sensitivity over time. Tooth enamel cannot be re-grown or restored naturally. If your dentist says your teeth are fine, then your teeth are fine. If you REALLY bothered by the color of your teeth, speak with your dentist/dental hygienist. You do not want to mess up your teeth. You only get 1 set of adult teeth and that’s it. Dental work for fixing teeth that have become weakened is incredibly expensive and painful. I’m really tired of celebrities and influencers pushing this VERY unrealistic standard of what attractive means and what “clean” should look like. Those are people who have no or very little obligations and responsibilities in life and are PAID very well to look like that and see you an image and products that they are given for free. In a real world where we have rent, bills, kids, parents and normal jobs… having normal teeth is more than ok. It’s not hat you’re supposed to have. Don’t buy purple toothpaste because you think your teeth are too yellow. If you’re dentist is worried they will help you fix it. Don’t put money into the pockets of influencers or the brands that use that to sell you a false and unattainable image. If I’m paying anyone to make my teeth better it’ll be the person who has a doctorate in dental medicine, thanks.
