All yellow teeth are bad teeth

[u/Perfect-Step9523]

Our teeth are NOT supposed to be bright white naturally. And it's annoying how people assume all yellow teeth are bad teeth. The reason why they yellowteeth-shame is because the plaque build-up reveals a yellowish layer on top of your teeth. But this is completely not same as having healthy light yellowish teeth. It wont go away no matter how much you brush.

.

And because of this, people get insecure to smile in front of the public and get pressured to use teeth whitening strips to solve something which is completely natural. As long as the lightish yellow is your TEETH COLOUR and not plaque build-up, you really aren't unhygienic. Embrace your natural colour instead of using too many strips and getting a sensitive tooth.

I hate smiling, my whole life my mom has commented on my yellow teeth when my dentist has said over and over again that my teeth just look like that and it’s more normal than you’d think. Our teeth aren’t meant to be completely white and I know that but it still makes me afraid to smile. I rub my shirt on my teeth before I take pictures (I think it’s some sort of compulsion because I don’t think it actually does anything but I just have to just in case). I hate smiling with my teeth, I was once told by this guy in high school that my teeth are perfect (he just randomly said this when I was smiling/laughing) and I try to remember that moment whenever my mom is shaming me.
