Question: Why do certain foods, like curry, turn false teeth green!?
Out for a curry with friend last night who has three temporary crowns!.!.!.and after the meal her teeth were luminous, almost fluorescent lime green! They are apparently just the same today, anything she can do!? LolWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
OMG! It's the turmeric which gives the curry sauce its yellow colour!. I guess her temporary crowns are made of some porous plastic material which has soaked up the colour!. When she gets her permanent ones they will be porcelain or ceramic which will not soak up stains!. In the meantime she could try a whitening toothpaste, or rinsing her mouth with some diluted hydrogen peroxide, but I'm not sure if they will regain their original colour!. Hope it's not too long before the permanent teeth are ready :S
