Mellow Yellow

Browsing Facebook, I’ve noticed that many of my Indian/Middle Eastern brothers and sisters all have a similar problem. This might come from improper hygiene or it might just be a genetic disorder. Nevertheless, in pictures, you can always catch that one person with a glistening yellow tooth.

This might be a sensitive subject for some, but when it comes down to it, honestly, it just makes me uncomfortable just looking at you. It makes me want to shout, “BRUSH YO’ TOOF!”

I’ve seen the most beautiful people with the most amazing smile all have a problem with just one tooth. It is usually the Canine tooth (the long and pointy one) that has the complication. Now I realize that there are a lot of factors that cause yellow teeth: coffee, cola, cigarette smoke, acidic foods, gargling your mouth with gasoline, but that should make everything yellow right?

Here are my top four reasons as to why one tooth might be yellow:

• Forgetting to brush that one single tooth.
• Eating chicken curry with only one tooth.
• Excessive hookah inhalation/sucking through one side of the mouth.
• It’s actually the style to have one yellow tooth according to Vogue and I don’t know about it.

Nevertheless, ladies and gentleman, if you have that one problematic tooth, don’t worry. With modern dentistry, the creation of a toothbrush, and our friend google.com, anything can be solved.

Stay smiling! (With mouth closed)
