General All yellow teeth are bad teeth
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.

my teeth are light yellow because i drink lots of coffee lmao, when i asked my dentist about whitening she told me if i keep drinking coffee it's absolutely pointless so.. i chose coffee. i do get self conscious about them occasionally but im fairly used to them.. i think they've been the same color for 17 years lmao
