Yellowing of teeth and cavities harm not only your smile but also your health.

 

Oral health: Your teeth not only affect your smile but also your health. If you don't take proper care of them, their negative effects can harm your health. So, let's learn how to remove yellow teeth.
Oral Health: Teeth are a vital part of our body. Their primary role is to chew and digest food, and aid speech. Without teeth, proper chewing and pronunciation of words are impossible. This is why teeth are crucial not only for our health, but also for our self-confidence and facial appearance. A smile is incomplete without teeth, and healthy teeth make a face look attractive and beautiful. Furthermore, dental health is also linked to the body's overall health, as gum and tooth diseases can be linked to blood circulation and heart disease.
Tooth formation begins early in pregnancy and continues throughout life. The foundation of teeth is laid during the embryonic stage, and the first baby tooth appears approximately 6-8 months after birth. By adulthood, a total of 32 permanent teeth emerge: 4 premolars, 8 incisors, 4 premolars, and 12 molars (including wisdom teeth). The tooth structure consists of enamel, the outermost layer, considered the strongest material in the body. Beneath this layer is dentin, and the innermost layer is pulp, which contains blood vessels and nerves.
Poor dental care can lead to a number of problems, including cavities, gum disease, pyorrhea, and yellowing of the teeth. These problems are primarily caused by poor dental hygiene. Furthermore, an unhealthy diet, such as excessive consumption of sugary and oily foods, can also contribute to tooth decay.
In Ayurveda, teeth are considered part of the Asthi Dhatu (metal), and their health is linked to the balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Since ancient times, neem toothbrushes and Arjuna bark have been considered beneficial for strengthening teeth. Gandush (oil pulling) and Kavala (oil pulling) are also considered beneficial for teeth in Ayurveda, helping to maintain healthy gums.
Some simple home remedies can also be effective for dental care, such as brushing twice daily, massaging the gums with rock salt and mustard oil, using neem sticks, and rinsing with warm salt water. Calcium and vitamin D intake are also essential for strong teeth and bones, and can be achieved through consuming milk, yogurt, cheese, and sunlight. It is also advisable to avoid tobacco and sugary foods, as these can damage teeth.

The color and condition of our teeth can reveal a lot about our health. For example, yellow teeth can be a sign of weak enamel, while toothaches can also be felt in the head or ears, as teeth are directly connected to nerves. Teeth tend to remain the same size throughout life, but as we age, gums and bones can shrink, making them appear larger. This is a normal process that occurs as the body grows and ages.
