What&#8217;s more, the causes vary and can range from simple to complex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8Uh11QM9A0Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tooth discolouration can happen as a result of two main factors, <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/10958-tooth-discoloration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">external discolouration and internal discolouration<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><em><b>External Discolouration<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">External discolouration is temporary and can be a result of many different factors. This includes:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Fluorosis<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluoride is essential in ensuring healthy teeth and bones, but too much fluoride can damage tooth enamel-forming cells, causing discolouration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>2. Foods and Drinks<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain acidic fruits and vegetables (like blueberries, oranges, or tomatoes) or drinks like sugar water, cranberry juice, or grape juice can cause tooth staining. To reduce tooth stains from dark foods and drinks, encourage your child to rinse their mouth out after every meal or snack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Poor oral hygiene<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, poor oral hygiene can also be to blame. If your child has been neglecting proper brushing and flossing habits, then this could definitely be the culprit for their yellow teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><em><b>Internal Discolouration<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internal discolouration can happen due to medical conditions and sometimes can be permanent due to several factors.
