How do teeth discolour?
Just like the complexion of your skin, the colour of your hair or the whites of your eyes, the basic colour of your teeth is hereditary. Tooth are made of enamel, dentine and pulp. Tooth colour depends mainly on the colour and thickness of the dentine. It is different for everyone so one person can have whiter teeth than the next. Enamel, on the other hand, is almost transparent. Canine teeth are naturally a bit more yellowish than the other teeth because their dentine layer is thicker. Bleaching your teeth yourself or at the dentist can be a first step in making your teeth more beautiful.
