Poor Dental Care
Dental care is an important part of overall health. Still, to some people, it can be a low priority—even though regular dental visits are important to maintaining everything from oral health to physical appearance. For example, teeth can become discolored, stained, or misshapen without proper care. Not only that, but poor dental care can spread harmful bacteria throughout the mouth, which could eventually extend beyond the mouth and into vital organs.
There are several reasons for yellow teeth, but one of the most common ones is not receiving regular dental checkups at a dentist’s office. When your teeth aren’t professionally cleaned, plaque and tartar build up on them over time. This collects between your teeth and along the gum line. If it isn’t removed with floss or a toothbrush, it hardens into tartar. The tartar can discolor your teeth over time and trap bacteria deep in your gums, causing swelling and bleeding gums. These issues cause bad breath and cavities if they aren’t addressed promptly.
When you don’t go to the dentist regularly, you’re also missing out on professional cleanings and X-rays that can reveal problems early before they require more extensive treatment.
