Some folks have naturally butter/yellow coloured teeth. No biggie

If it makes you very uncomfortable though you can always visit a dentist for a professional opinion & probably request a S&P procedure- that's Scaling & Polishing

Some people ... usually dark in complexion.. have white teeth. Usually teeth colour is not white... ivory to kinda cream... that's natural... like skin tones. Like skin tones... some people don't like theirs and they bleach to lighten it. That comes with consequences. You want to do the same ... don't like the colour... want to bleach teeth. Like skin bleachers... there are teeth bleachers. Many tooth pastes now add whiteners ... various strengths... to bleach your teeth. Be prepared to face the consequences. The chemicals can damage your gum ... gum bleeding first sign... and it will be damaging your teeth. May sound stupid... best for your teeth ... better than any tooth paste or mouthwash... is the very chew stick used for generations. Someone earlier recommended a toothpaste with strong fluoride... and advised you drink water a few minutes after using. Do you know why you are not suppose to eat nor drink at least 30 minutes after using toothpaste or mouthwash that has flouride?...fluoride?.... because fluoride is a poison.
Use chew stick ... brush after eating.. keep your teeth... whatever colour they be... that's your natural colour... accept it.

Has it always been like that since you were a baby? If so, I don't know if there is a solution. But if it became yellow over time, then there is solution. I had the issue a few years ago, and then I heard about Colgate Advanced Whitening toothpaste...there are many types of Colgate, but the one I'm talking of is specifically for people that want to turn their yellow teeth white. You will see Advanced Whitening boldly written on it. Buy it and use it twice a day...you will see difference in 2-3 months. I guarantee.

-are you the type that rather spend money on that useless toothpaste called MYMY? Do you feel spending money on LISTERINE is a waste?
Answer these first before I continue
Listerine and the other commercial mouthwashes are acidic and contain potentially cancer-causing chemicals, and are just plain bad for you.

Listerine was created in the 1870’s and was originally used as an antiseptic to reduce infections after surgery. It was also sold as a floor cleaner!

It wasn’t until the 1920’s that sales took off. A series of ads promoted Listerine as a cure for chronic halitosis (bad breath). Before the ad campaign, nobody really worried about how their breath smelled. But something about the ads resonated with people and Listerine’s sales increased in under 10 years.
That brings us up to today, where drugstore shelves are packed with an incredible variety of mouthwashes, each with a different gimmick and advertised purpose.

there are some fundamental problems with the over the counter commercial mouthwashes that you can buy in the drugstore, like Listerine. In order to make them shelf stable, manufacturers add acidic stabilizing agents. These are absolutely terrible for your teeth. The acid will actually eat away at your tooth enamel, weakening your teeth and making them more susceptible to decay..

Then there are the artificial food dyes that are used in almost all over the counter mouthwashes. Cool Mint Listerine, to give one example, contains the dye Green 3, which has been linked to bladder cancer.

When you used an antibacterial mouthwash, it kills all kinds of bacteria, even the good ones! This can be the opportunity that the hazardous bacteria need to take over and start an infection. This is known as a “rebound effect.”

One of the biggest dangers of using LISTERINE regularly is that it can make you feel like your mouth is clean when it isn’t.

Is it true that any procedure could cost as much as 200k?

It depends on the dental clinic and the procedure in question. Whitening process shouldn't be that expensive.

I used to be obsessed with my teeth back in secondary school. I be better toothpaste-LovePeddler if ever there was one. Eventually I got to realise that eating right, abstaining from smoking and too much alcohol and using a decent toothpaste like close-up or oral-B was all I needed for a healthy aesthetic teeth.

Your best bet is to visit a dentist. A dentist will carry out a procedure on your teeth to whiten it and your teeth will brighten.

It's funny that we only visit a dentist when we have serious teeth pain. Most of us are not aware that a dentist can make those brown or stained teeth of yours white again and also realign badly arranged teeth and properly file jagged teeth.

Grind charcoal to smooth powder form and use it to brush your teeth ; you'd see fine result within a few days. We use am for village and it was awesome.

Use baking soda with old brush
This may work but be very careful. It can wear your teeth out and cause issues if left for longer than necessary. I will say do not leave it for more than 1 minute before washng it off your mouth..

Right. People who can’t/don’t want to use aka-unwu/potash also use it for recipes what call for curdled palm oil (abacha-ncha, nkwobi, isi-ewu) and to eliminate the tangy taste of tomatoes for stew (importantly you can’t really use more than half a teaspoon for that without the taste and colour becoming unappetising).

Don't go to a dentist to whiten your teeth, you'll be wearing down your enamel and making your teeth weaker by doing so. Even your dentist would tell you this but will still collect your money if you choose to proceed after their expert advice. Use baking soda to brush a few times a week and if you notice an improvement, stop use immediately

Misogynists.

Last time it was a guy with halitosis. Instead they will say it's because they were broke that they were rejected and now they're rich they will buy every girl who rejected them. That all that girls want and need is money.

This is one of the numerous reasons you're rejected.

Oga use charcoal to brush everyday, use charcoal and salt every 3 days. Within a week you will see great changes. Although if you are a smoker or a heavy alcohol drinker it won't whiten well..
