Why Are Child’s Permanent Teeth Growing In Yellow
Permanent Teeth Growing In Yellow

Adult teeth, because of their composition, do have a different tone than baby teeth and often appear yellow, especially when they erupt right next to brilliant white baby teeth.
The baby teeth are naturally whiter than permanent teeth. The main reason for the permanent teeth growing in yellow teeth because, Permanent teeth not only having a thicker enamel, but the layer just under the enamel(dentin) is also more dense. This under layer gives the permanent teeth a color slightly more yellow than the baby teeth.
The second thing is that the ratio of dentin to enamel has appeared higher on the baby teeth, which means that the inner color of the dentin is more likely to be visible through the adult’s tooth enamel shell. Make sure that they are brushing and flossing regularly. Plaque and tartar build-up will cause the teeth to look more yellow than they really are.
