TEETH WHITENING : How to Prevent Yellow Teeth (Without Whitening)

By preventing your teeth from aging prematurely, you can keep them naturally white for a lifetime.

When you hear that wine, coffee, and tobacco stain teeth — that’s referring to the white, external part of the tooth — the part of the tooth that is NOT alive.
