Myth: Teeth naturally become yellow with age. Fact: While some discoloration can occur, regular cleanings and good oral hygiene can help keep teeth white as you age.

Dr Cindy Li, DDSByDr Cindy Li, DDS Hours Reading Time: 3 minutes

Contrary to the common belief that teeth naturally become yellow with age, maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings can significantly mitigate discoloration. While some degree of yellowing may occur over time due to factors like diet and lifestyle, diligent brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings can help preserve the whiteness of your teeth. Therefore, aging does not necessarily equate to yellowing teeth if proper dental care is practiced consistently.
