Tooth staining and age
There is, in fact, a direct correlation between the color of your teeth and your age. As people grow older, teeth darken because of wear and tear, as well as from stain accumulation. This is why teenagers often see immediate results from teeth whitening. As people enter their twenties, teeth start turning a bit yellow, and teeth whiteners need to be stronger. By the time someone turns forty, an even stronger teeth whitener may be needed. Stains can prove very difficult, but not always impossible to remove with products such as Deep Bleach available through your cosmetic dentist at Shoreline Dental Care.

Everyone starts out with an inborn tooth color. For some people it is yellow-brownish, and for others it is greenish-gray. This color intensifies over time. Yellow-brownish teeth are typically easier to whiten. All teeth show at least some translucency. Opaque and thick teeth appear lighter in color. They also show more sparkle and are more responsive to bleaching.
