Or do they???!!!
Natural teeth color isn’t white, so anyone with white teeth has had whitening treatments or sonething else to brighten their teeth.
They drink coffee or tea and then have their teeth whitened. Or they don’t drink coffee and tea to reduce the amount of yellowing, requiring less whitening. Or they have veneers.
I’ve seen pictures of tribes of people who mostly have perfectly white, straight teeth. It’s possible under the right circumstances of diet, youth, and genetics.
Super misleading: https://adventure.com/wodaabe-nomads-gerewol-chad-africa/ They aren’t as primitive as you make them out to be and they use techniques to specifically show off their white teeth. The fact that their canines are flat should already be a big hint that they don’t have natural teeth.
Perhaps they use a lot of whitening oral care products like whitening toothpaste, and whitening mouthwash to counteract the effects.
That’s what I do, and I’m also a smoker. It kind of works.
I know of at least two people who drink coffee, tea and red wine with a straw.
They probably just have a regular teeth whitening appt with their dentist, or they use strips. I used to have an hour long commute into work, and I used to apply the strips just before I left the house, and remove them when I got to work. My dentist did warn me to be careful, as applying them right after brushing could damage my teeth…or maybe he just didn’t like the competition LOL
I know a hippy(relevant detail) who regularly drinks coffee, worked as a barista for half her life, and her teeth are like movie star white, because she does oil pulling to keep them that way.
I tried it, didn’t do much for me after a couple months, but her teeth were yellow one year and then the next time I saw her they were totally white, and she said it was from oil pulling that year, which is basically swishing coconut oil around in your mouth for 5 or 10 minutes and then spitting it out
her teeth was like crazy white and she said she had to stop doing oil pulling for a while because people were starting to freak out over how white her teeth were and she couldn’t talk to anyone without them being like what’s up with your crazy white teeth.
and they were absolutely yellow the year before. or, you know, like normal human yellow.
Or she went to a dentist and got them whitened. The natural color of teeth is slightly yellow.
very unlikely.
I won’t say impossible, but is extremely unlikely for a few reasons.
she’s literally the last person I would expect to get teeth whitening from the dentist.
she doesn’t shave her legs or use makeup or anything, doesn’t really make sense that she would get teeth whitening.
hasn’t even got her wisdom teeth out yet, terrified of dentists.
quick note, the outermost layer of teeth is white.
You’re talking about the inner layer, dentin.
most yellow coloring on teeth is from use over the years, oils and fats and stains like coffee or alcohol that color the white enamel.
Dentin itself, the part of the teeth you see, is naturally white.
she couldn’t talk to anyone without them being like what’s up with your crazy white teeth.
I think we’d all like to know how that feels, even though no-one would enjoy it in the long run.
yeah, I think I’m going to get a jar of coconut oil and try it again.
maybe it also has a cumulative effect?
after 2 and 1/2 months or something I thought My teeth looked one shade whiter, but then I gave up.
Why not give it another whirl?
Hmm. I might give this a go as well if I locate a jar and it doesn’t taste too bad.
swishing coconut oil around in your mouth for 5 or 10 minutes
Holy hell. I’m getting grossed out well before a minute of swishing anything.
