Today, I was taking a picture with my friend. Her camera can pick out a certain color and only have that color show up in the picture. She chose yellow because of the yellow on my dress. When she showed me the picture, the sash wasn't the only yellow thing; my teeth showed up, too. FML

Uh, first off, gross. Yellow teeth happen, but (hopefully) it's not that bad. Second, you can edit that out on those kinds of cameras.

By the way...the color of your teeth is actually determined by genetic factors as well...so even if you brush your teeth regularly or use the white strips to prevent them from further discoloration from drinking coffee, smoking etc., you might never get past a certain shade of yellow/white...to get them visibly whiter you really have to go to the dentist and get them bleached

Everyone has yellow teeth. Unless you're a television personality, there's no need to worry about it. I'll bet your friend's teeth would have been on display too, had she been in the frame.

Yellow teeth are natural. You can brush and brush and floss and floss and your teeth can still turn yellow. The idea that everyone must have dazzling white teeth is an invention of Hollywood and the toothpaste industry. If you're really that self-conscious about it then talk to your dentist, but for pity's sake, don't beat yourself up about it or feel ashamed. It's natural, and don't listen to these other folks who say YDI and tell you to brush. They don't get it.

I agree with 62. I have a friend that was born insufficiant enamel (or maybe none, I dunno) and his teeth have a slight yellow tint and scar easily, even though he brushes, drinks water 90% of the time (that's all I ever see him drink), and doesn't smoke. I brush my teeth/don't smoke/don't drink coffee and they were yellow ever since I can remember up until a few days ago when they polished them at the orthodontist (it wasn't a toothbrush, they used some tool I'd never seen or heard of), which was completely painless and removed the stains. I've used whitestrips on several different occasions and they never did anything. What helps is baking soda. Just put some of the powder on your toothbrush, wet it, and brush. Then follow up with toothpaste. It works.
