Why are my canine teeth yellow and they won't whiten?!


Question: Why are my canine teeth yellow and they won't whiten?
The rest of my teeth are very white and I've never put any treatments on them. They also came in almost perfectly straight which I know I should be thankful for. But my canines are more yellow ... not really bad just not as white as the other teeth. I bought Crest Whitestrips 3D Gentle Formula and cut them into pieces and put them just on the canines but I've been using them daily for a week and no change. I also have little white fluoride spots on my canines can anything get rid of that? I grew up with contaminated well water that had too much fluoride, we lived on an abandoned coal mine.

if the rest of your teeth are fine, and you say the canines are slightly yellowed, then don't worry about them too much! save the abuse to your enamel to keep them strong and healthy into your older adult years..
i would switch to a tartar control and whitening toothpaste.. and ask the dentist to clean them.. you need that every 6 months.. also remember that your salivary glands are located right under the tongue near the canines and that can cause more tartar build up



You have to remember that teeth are white white anyway. Some people's teeth are a little darker, it's normal.

Why not take a trip to the dentist and have them check them out.....that would answer your questions.



You just answered your own question.you grew up drinking contaminated water .
