Many people know that yellow teeth can be caused by smoking, drinking coffee and/or tea and red wine. If you’re not using or consuming any of those products, you’re probably wondering why you have yellow teeth.
The culprit is most likely part of the natural aging process.
Yellow Teeth Can Be Healthy Teeth
So, you have a mouth full of healthy teeth but you are concerned about the color now that your teeth have yellowed. Are you wondering why?
Aging can lead to thinning tooth enamel which gives way to allowing the color the interior of the tooth, dentin, to show through.
Dentin, the hard inner surface of the tooth, contains a pulp that is yellowish in color. As enamel thins, the thicker interior will show through the more transparent, thin enamel surface.
Yellow teeth can make you look even older than you are as well as give you an unhealthy appearance.
Many people try bleaching products or tooth pastes that promise whitening only to find that neither is doing the trick. That’s because if your yellow teeth are caused by aging, it’s not the same as bleaching out stains. Simply the enamel needs to be resurfaced.
If yellow teeth are making you look older and taking away that sparkle in your smile, you’ll want to consider resurfacing your teeth with porcelain veneers.

As we get older, the porous outer layer of enamel on our teeth begins to thin. This allows the naturally yellow material beneath it, called dentin, to show through more prominently. The thinner your enamel, the more dentin shows through, giving your teeth a yellow tint.
It's natural for teeth to appear darker as they age, but a bleaching product with hydrogen peroxide or urea peroxide can help turn back the clock – and a whitening toothpaste is an easy way to get a jump-start.
Fortunately, there are ways of making your yellow teeth white, from improving your oral hygiene and diet to visiting the dentist and having them professionally whitened. There's no need to feel ashamed of your smile anymore.
If you want to whiten aging yellow teeth, you should make an appointment and head to your dentist's office. This option is a bit more expensive than purchasing tubes of toothpaste and packages of whitening trays from the store, but it is safer and more effective overall.
In adults, low vitamin D status can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease. Does vitamin D deficiency cause yellow teeth? Yes, vitamin D deficiency can show up as yellow teeth. Yellow or brown spots on teeth are a symptom of rickets, a condition caused by chronic low levels of vitamin D.
