A DENTIST has shared her take on why people end up with unsightly yellow teeth \u2013 and there\u2019s three things you need to stop doing right away.<\/p>\n

Dr Surina Sehgal explained she knows that the habits are very common, but they\u2019re leading to problems \u2013 but, luckily, they can easily be stopped.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the video posted to her social media account, the dentist lifted the lid on three techniques people think are helping that are actually detrimental.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr Surina said in the clip shared to her TikTok profile @drsurinasehgal: \u201cMy name is Dr Surina and I\u2019m a dentist and I\u2019m going to tell you how to save your teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The professional then launched into the things to look out for \u2013 starting out with how you brush your teeth each morning and evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr Surina revealed: \u201cNumber one is brushing your teeth too hard.<\/p>\n

What the colour of your teeth reveals about your health – and when to worry<\/h3>\n

\u201cUsing excessive pressure with your toothbrush can actually wear down your enamel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing to highlight why this is a huge problem in the long-term Dr Surina said: \u201cNow your enamel layer is very white, the layer underneath your enamel is called dentine and that\u2019s very yellow in colour.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo by using excessive force over time will wear down your enamel layer and expose that yellow dentine layer underneath making your teeth look yellower.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her next<\/span> word of warning was to continue avoiding fizzy drinks.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cThese are the worst for your teeth because of their acidic nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, it will cause enamel erosion and thinning, exposing that yellow layer of dentine underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Surina also clarified that fizzy water is also acidic, and suggested limiting its consumption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cBut if you have to drink it, then drink through a straw.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using excessive pressure with your toothbrush can actually wear down your enamel<\/p>\n

However, she said that the third rule was one that might surprise people .<\/p>\n

Dr Surina concluded: \u201cNumber three is using a whitening toothpaste. Now this one may shock you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dentist went on to say that\u2019s because although it does fight stubborn stains on the teeth, it can have the opposite effect if used for a long period of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dr explained: \u201cWhitening toothpaste contains very small abrasive particles in them, which help to remove surface stain.<\/p>\n
