Why are my teeth not as white as they used to be?

They used to be lovely, but now i started to see them going yellow in colour. I brush twice a day and floss. I use a sensitive tooth paste. I dont smoke or drink tea or coffee. I drink juices. There not yellow as in tartar or plaque just the whole teeth are a beige colour. I dont think a scale and polish at the dentist would make them any cleaner looking would they? I have been taking anti biotics long term and i heard that that could be what is making them discolour.
Answer:
well as u get older ur teeth r cumin in contact wiv mor foods mor n mor an all of them will add a lil bit 2 make ur teeth go yellow
but dnt let tht bova u because it happens to every 1 just stik to wot ur doin an brush ur teeth twice a day for 2-4mins if u wanted 2 u cud also try a different tooth paste maybe 1 that specilises in tooth witening,but if it is still exstreamly bovering you then you could maybe get ur teeth whitened gd luk an hope your teeth get better

Have you tried the whitening toothpastes with bicarb of soda? I find they are pretty good and pearl whitening drops.

I have heard from radio , after we brush our teeth the left over toothpaste we swallow can make our teeth yellow.
And yellowish bit teeth is more healthier than absolute white teeth.

It probably will be the anti-biotics. Unfortunately some medications do have these kinds of side effects. My mum had the same problem except it was worsened by the fact that she had to take a steroid inhaler aswell.
Try a gentle whitening toothpaste it may help a little, but unfortunately if you are taking the medication it might be while before you notice any real difference

Some types of antibiotics can do this to your teeth. Although a scale and polish at the dentist should remove it.

Ya it could br your anti biotics but one thing more you mentioned is that you drink juices.You know that almost every juice contain acids which could damage the outermost and protective layer of our teeth but only when you brush after drinking the. Day by day the surface of the teeth got weak and weak and the color of food we take starts dissolving into the white matter of the teeth which is present under the protective layer and the white turns to yellow and I agree to you that a direct treatment would be useless. So you should go to your dentist but on start just discuss and if he garuntee you have whatever he says but never waste your time and money.
Except this, this could be also some minor and hygenic problem with your blood.

Try brushing your teeth with just baking soda. Mom does that and her teeth are white. I am afraid that since you have been taking antibiotics for awhile that could be the reason that they are stained off white now. If so I don't think that anything is going to help.

Teeth whitening toothpastes are just a waste of money and you don't hear of anyone having any great success using them.Cut out tea and coffee, give up smoking, chew gum and most important take a trip to the dentist and let your dentist give you the best advice.Soon you'll have your pearly whites, it's just maintaing them that's the hard thing
