It is natural for teeth to become more yellow as we age. Some of the yellow hue comes from the deposition of secondary dentin that can occur over time inside the tooth. Some of the yellow can come from the absorption of colors from the food, beverages and from cigarette smoke( if we smoke).
The best way to minimize this yellowing is to use a good electric toothbrush and have our teeth cleaned regularly. For those who seek to reverse this process I would advise them to consider having custom bleaching trays fabricated at your dentist. These thin trays can be worn at night or day to apply a carbamide peroxide formula to the teeth. This technique is an effective and safe way to brighten and whiten teeth.
Definitely good tips to get rid of yellowing teeth.

I know a lot of people try those teeth white stripes and don't see the kind of results they want. Agree that the best way is seeing a dentist regularly and using a good electric toothbrush with the right toothpaste.
