Hi doctor,

My teeth have become yellowish-white since a while. How can I get whiter teeth because I have an event next month? I would like to get my old teeth color back. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

Your complaint is about your tooth color. Recently, have you changed your toothpaste or started taking any medications for your health issues? Because few medicines have side effects, such as causing teeth discoloration. I suggest you undergo teeth whitening procedures since you specifically want your teeth color to be restored for an upcoming function. All dental offices provide teeth-whitening; speak with a dentist about your options. Depending on the product used, this teeth whitening technique is transient and lasts a few months. If it is essential, please go for it. Finally, the tone of our skin affects the color of our teeth. A darker complexion causes whiter teeth and vice versa. If you had a whiter tooth earlier and it is getting dull, please kindly find the cause and correct it. As I previously stated, new foods, toothpaste, or medications might discolor your teeth.

I hope this will help you.

Do get back in case of any further queries.

Thank you.
