Today, I went to the dentist. After drilling my teeth for what seemed like hours, he gave me a long speech about how if I continue to smoke, the yellowing of my teeth won't be the only problem. I don't smoke. I never have. FML

Today, I went to the dentist and she told me, "If you don't stop smoking, yellow teeth aren't the only thing you'll have to worry about." I don't even smoke. FML

Today, my coworker told me I should stop smoking cigarettes because it makes my breath "smell like shit" and makes my teeth look as yellow as corn. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. FML

Today, I had a long conversation with my fiancé about how smoking menthol cigarettes is not a substitute for brushing your teeth. He still isn't convinced. FML

Today, I started the bleaching treatments that my dentist recommended. Now, my two front teeth have ultra white spots, the rest of my teeth are still yellow and the roof of my mouth is burned. FML

Today, I went to the dentist at 8:30 for a check up. I walked out at 2:00 with a root canal and several thousand dollars in debt. I guess I'm not having a wedding this year or quitting the job I hate. FML

Today, I went to the dentist for the first time in years. His first comment upon inspecting my teeth: "Meth. Hell of a drug." FML

Great Success

Today, I decided to finally bleach my teeth. After 45 minutes of stinging pain, my teeth are still yellow as ever. My gums, on the other hand, are opaque white. FML

Today, I was flossing my teeth, which I do only to not get yelled at (chewed out?) by my dentist. Dentist I’ll now be seeing later today because the floss broke off a corner of one of my molars. FML

Drill baby drill

Today, my dentist told me I have 8 cavities. I'd jokingly bragged about never having a single cavity for 25 years right before he started checking. He laughed and said, "Well, that lucky streak is over!" then went on to drill the shit out of my teeth. I still can't feel the left side of my face. FML

Today, after 6 dentist visits, 2 root canals, and $1,500 that I'll likely have to sell vital organs to pay, the agonizing tooth pain I've had for months is unrelenting. Apparently, shrugging and offering to experimentally yank all my bottom teeth is my smurf-shit of a dentist's actual plan. FML

If you're a caffeine junky try green tea - it's way better for your teeth. Otherwise lay of the sugar and get a toothbrush.

I brush and floss my teeth religiously, almost never drink coffee/tea/pop, and have never smoked or chewed tobacco. But I still have yellow teeth (I've had them all my life, actually). So sometimes it's genetic, and you can't do anything about it. I don't know what it is in the OP's case, but everyone should stop jumping to conclusions. Some of these comments were totally uncalled for.

You never smoke? You obviously never brush your teeth either.

Gross. Those are serious coffee stains if he assumed you were a smoker! Try a whitening toothpaste, mayhap?

Your dentist should have asked if you were a smoker or not for his file due to various reasons (like it effects bleeding, raises risk for anaesthetic etc.) and not just assummed this. He is rude but you shouldn't have let it be a long speech. Next time just say shut up A*Hole I pay - you work for me!

Oral hygiene works magic. BRUSH YOUR TEETH!! or try whitening mouth wash or strips.

1) brush your teeth and mouthwash/floss 2) whitening strips 3) stop hanging around at bars, or places with smoke 4) stop kissing people who smoke 5) Don't drink coffee, or other things with drugs 6) Stop being nasty
