Having yellow teeth makes the smile less radiant, that's a fact. But contrary to popular belief, discoloration of teeth is not always caused by bad oral habits.

To get rid of this discomfort, medical solutions exist to whiten your teeth, and put an end to dental yellowing. 🥴


MyVariations offers you here a complete file on the causes, tips and solutions so that you can regain the whiteness of your teeth .

What causes yellow teeth?

There are two main categories of causes of yellowing of the teeth. These are intrinsic (the tooth itself is stained) and extrinsic (the outer part of the tooth has been stained). 🖌

Intrinsic causes


In this case, the teeth are naturally yellow because the dentin is strongly colored or the enamel is thinner. The shade that we perceive at the level of the teeth is largely linked to the contrast of the color of the skin and the gums.

The hereditary aspect does not therefore fail to play a preponderant role . 🧬


In addition, medical factors related to medications taken as a child are also likely to change the internal color of the teeth.

Extrinsic causes


The repetitive contact of the teeth with certain products is also the basis of the yellowing of the teeth. In order not to see your teeth turn yellow, it will therefore be necessary to considerably limit the consumption of tobacco , tea, red wine, and red fruits . ☕️ Similarly, good oral hygiene and a good brushing method also avoids the accumulation of food residues at the level of the tooth after consumption, and therefore staining.


In particular, you must absolutely avoid tobacco if you do not want to have yellow teeth. 🚬 And this, because of the tar and nicotine that this product contains.

What solutions to fight against the appearance of yellow teeth?


To make the yellow color of your teeth disappear, the first solution is to adopt good oral hygiene habits. It is important to brush your teeth regularly and to do it well.

The application of some recipes from grandmothers also proves to be an effective solution. 👵🏼 You can also use hydrogen peroxide to whiten your teeth , also called hydrogen peroxide , baking soda or whitening gel.


Added to these solutions, a good diet and a careful choice of your toothbrush would be ideal. 🪥

As a last resort you can think of a complete descaling with a dental surgeon. It is the removal of dental plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth, which is partly responsible for the loss of whiteness. 🥼 We remind you that it is strongly recommended not to carry out a descaling at home , it is imperative to go to the dentist!

Professional teeth whitening that will get rid of deep stains can also be done.

How and which toothbrush to choose to make yellow teeth disappear?


There are two main types of toothbrushes. Manual and electric toothbrushes.

Manual toothbrush vs electric toothbrush


The manual toothbrush has been the model used by most for years before the advent of electric toothbrushes and their benefits . The principle with this type of brush is based on making the right gestures.


You need to make vertical movements from the gum to the bottom of the tooth. By applying yourself you will definitely get results. But if one thing is even safer, it's that you'll get better results with an electric toothbrush while not having to perform these movements manually. ✋

The MyVariations electric toothbrush


There are electric toothbrushes of two different technologies. We have those that work with oscillating-rotating technology (with a round head that rotates on itself). The high rotation speed of the rotating brush allows effective plaque removal, however it is also more aggressive and can be abrasive to the enamel or irritating to the gums. 👄


The second category of electric brush are called sonic . They are equipped with an elongated head (much like the head of a manual toothbrush). It is therefore the sonic vibrations transmitted to the brush head that cause the bristles to move vertically at a rate of 31,000 to 40,000 micro-movements per minute. It is these movements that are responsible for the detachment and elimination of dental plaque. 🦷

It is therefore suitable for everyone to choose between a rotating brush and a sonic brush.

To quote a model of sonic electric brush, the French brand MyVariations offers a brush of this type that is particularly effective and equipped with the most essential features.

A built-in 2-minute timer and 5 brushing modes with varying intensity are also provided on MyVariations electric toothbrushes to enhance their efficiency. 👌 For dental whitening and good enamel maintenance, this is the type of brush you absolutely need since it is very soft with the latter, and respectful of gum tissue to avoid bleeding , swelling of the gums and stay away from gingivitis .

Some grandmother's recipes to fight against dental yellowing

Apart from the medical solutions that your dentist can offer you, here are some recipes from grandmothers who have already proven themselves:

Tea tree essential oil

The recipe involves mixing a little tea tree essential oil with water. 🍃 You will then have to gargle with it. You can also simply put some on your brush. The antibacterial action of tea tree will destroy the bacteria that lead to tooth staining. 🦠

coconut oil recipe

When coconut oil is used as a mouthwash, it whitens the teeth. The hardest part about this solution is that you'll have to hold the coconut oil in your mouth for 15 minutes. 🥥 Be sure to get the solution through your teeth before spitting it out. To finish the treatment, do a normal brushing as usual.

Propolis for teeth whitening


Opt for propolis in chewable form. Chew one part for at least 10 minutes. 🍯 It will protect and whiten the oral cavity. Being a product that participates in the sanitation of the mouth, it will act on the whiteness of the teeth by removing the yellow stains.

Whether you opt for one or the other treatment, you will be delighted that the yellow spots that tarnish the beauty of your smile are reduced naturally, without having to go to the dentist. 😉

The whitening kits to use according to the advice of your dentist


Most whitening kits are made with hydrogen peroxide. To use them you should normally seek the advice of your dentist. 🩺

It should be noted that this is a product whose misuse can damage the enamel and create hypersensitivity of the gums .


If the risk is too great, there are alternatives such as special gutters, and whitening in the dentist's office. Although this last technique is also based on peroxide, it is combined with the action of UV rays from a specialized lamp. 🔦

FAQs: frequently asked questions

Which toothpaste for teeth whitening?


There are a large number of toothpaste brands on the market, intended for tooth whitening. To choose your toothpaste , it is recommended to seek the advice of your dentist. Indeed, it is important that you ensure that the components of the toothpaste are safe for your enamel as well as the oral structure. ☝️

How to get results in a day?


For immediate results, baking soda is the ideal product. Just apply it to your manual or electric device and you're done. This is because baking soda is a white substance with bleaching properties. The results are immediate when used.


For a faster and more effective action, you can add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide, but this substance can erode the enamel if used too often, we will limit the application of this product to once a month . ⚠️

Toothbrush maintenance: how to do it?


To guarantee the lowest possible bacterial proliferation in the mouth , it is also advisable to properly maintain your toothbrush, the tool with which you clean your teeth on a daily basis. 🪥


It is advisable to put it in a suitable and clean container, keeping the head up. This position will allow it to dry out. In addition, you must change it after an illness because it could harbor bacteria which later will harm your health again. 😷


Ultimately, note that having yellow teeth, brown spots, gray teeth or a black tooth is not inevitable. There are many ways to whiten your teeth. However, keep in mind that the most important thing is to have good oral hygiene. It is the basis of the health of your smile, and the proper maintenance of the mouth. 🧼

In terms of toothbrushes, we recommend the model of sonic electric toothbrushes from the young French brand MyVariations , especially because of their effectiveness when it comes to eliminating dental plaque on a daily basis to restore their original whiteness. teeth over a long period of time. 🥳
