No, you don't smoke, you just have atrociously disgusting hygeine. God forbid you ever kiss someone.

For as long as she's been old enough to brush her own teeth, she has done so, the right way, as many times as necessary.. used floss, mouthwash, whatever she could to keep them great. Every time she went to the dentist, she was berated for not keeping good care of her teeth because of the cavities, etc. Sometimes there isnt anything you could do, they just get bad. People, grow up and think before you make stupid comments. It specifically says "please try and be respectful", and I think most of you skip that part.

I sympathize with OP. Dentists are assholes. It's their job to fix your teeth. It's not their job to make you feel like shit about it every visit. Granted not ALL dentists are like this, but judging from the amount of comments here and from several friends' experiences, as well as mine, I have to call it as I see it. I can't think of another profession where they chew you out so bad. Dentists need to chill the F out.

I brush my teeth almost every day (There are times I'm working for so long I forget) and my teeth aren't perfectly white. They aren't suppose to be! With so many people using whiteners and bleaching their teeth, even dentists don't know what color our teeth are suppose to be by natural means anymore! It seems that unless your teeth are blinding, your teeth aren't considered 'healthy' anymore.

I'd make sure to brush more if you can't control it.

It doesn't matter if the person brushes their teeth all the time, their teeth can still be yellow with good oral hygeine. It all depends on if the person is drinking a lot of coffee and soda, which stain teeth. Even with brushing and mouth wash that staining does not go away. So OP, don't listen to these people who are telling you you're disgusting and w.e. There's many different reason for teeth to yellow. Teeth are not supposed to be super white. Our teeth all have a natural color to them. Yours could be more yellow than others. If you want to make them whiter, stop drinking things that'll stain your teeth. Use a whitening toothpaste and mouthwash. And try whitening strips. But make sure you brush and floss really well before using them. Or else you'll end up with bleached spots all over your teeth.

So take better care of your teeth...?

maybe you shouldn't rely solely on the dentist to clean your teeth

I know someone who has yellow teeth but brushes regularly and doesn't smoke/drink - its because he uses a toothpase that doesn't include a whitener.Using toothpaste such as Weleda will do that to you. its healthier than crest but you have to put up with your teeth not being shiny white

#29: "Stop being nasty"? What the hell crawled up Douchy McDouchenozzle's ass and died? And why would kissing people who smoke make ANY difference on one's teeth? Six steps to give bad advice. Nice.
