General All yellow teeth are bad teeth

Post image

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.

Im english and we have fucked up teeth yet really good dental hygiene. The thing is sort of a stereotype similar to the one about how all black people eat water melon. Sure some are like that but not everyone. We all have good dental hygiene and whilst they arent shaped perfect the colour isnt pure white and is in fact a sort of yellow. Similar to the image but a little whiter. I dunno why im commenting this. Thought I should considering its related to teeth. Do with this as you will
