Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape and position of the teeth also influence perception; large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear "whiter". The colour impression is created by light reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin
. The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat "yellower" due to the dentin shining through.
As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and the teeth consequently yellower. In addition, discolouration on the teeth due to plaque, food residues, lifestyle habits (coffee, tea plaque), tea residues (smoking), etc.
Furthermore, mineral disorders occurring during the formation of tooth enamel, fluoride overdoses (e.g. dental fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as a side effect of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can
lead to whitish, yellow or brown colour stains. fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as side effects of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellowish or brownish colour stains, which can often also be associated with structural anomalies such as grooves or stippling (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation). Such colour deposits can also be found in the dentin. Furthermore, leaking fillings or crowns, for example, can cause cracks in the teeth, which can promote the penetration of unsightly (yellow or brown) colouring into the outer tooth structures.
Traumatic haemorrhages, e.g. after an accident (at least temporary blue discolouration of the teeth) or brown-black dyes from dead pulp (dental nerve) tissue (see above) or by release from root canal filling materials can lead to translucent brown-black tooth discolouration from the inside of the tooth (the former pulp cavity).

Chalky teeth (MIH - molar-incisor hypomineralization) are a developmental disorder of the tooth enamel that primarily affects children and adolescents. The tooth enamel is insufficiently mineralized, making it soft, porous and susceptible to wear, tooth decay and sensitivity. ApaCare Repair Repair Paste supports the remineralization of incompletely mineralized, weakened tooth enamel. The liquid tooth enamel fills porous areas, stores tooth minerals, smoothes the surface and makes the teeth more resistant and shiny.
Recommendation
Apply ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste to the affected teeth daily, for a more intensive effect also with the individually adjustable ApaCare Repair Tooth Splint , ideally overnight. Ideal addition for in between: ApaCare Mineralizing Tooth Varnish

Dental health and nutrition
"Sugar is bad for your teeth" - you learn this from kindergarten onwards. The regular consumption of sugar not only promotes the development of tooth decay, but also favours the development and progression of inflammation in the body, such as gum recession and periodontitis in the mouth. Sugar promotes the development and progression of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, as well as cardiovascular diseases, and leads to faster ageing and even blemished skin and acne.
Incidentally, almost all sugar substitutes (with the exception of xylitol) and fructose have a similar effect. Often the
hidden sweeteners are mainly found in drinks, including light drinks and ready meals.
Speaking of fruit: these and acidic drinks can favour tooth wear and enamel erosion, which is why you should not brush your teeth for up to 2 hours after consuming them. But food can also heal, even reduce inflammation: The quickest way to do this is to reduce the total number of calories consumed each day (e.g. minimising carbohydrate consumption and avoiding "sweet" snacks in particular).
It is also advisable to select fats (e.g. cooking with rapeseed oil, favouring polyunsaturated fatty acids in fatty sea fish, avocado, nuts, etc.) and to avoid the consumption of saturated fatty acids of animal and vegetable origin (palm kernel fat, coconut fat, etc.). Many plants and herbs contain so-called secondary plant substances, such as spinach or blueberries, which can also improve oral health if consumed regularly.
Expert tip
Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimise snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries more often (e.g. blueberries) or spinach.

Dental plaque. What to do?
If you don't brush your teeth regularly and carefully, you run the risk of plaque, discolouration or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are the regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc.
Medication or mouth rinses, e.g. based on chlorhexidine, can also lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly.
lead to tooth discolouration. This can be prevented and often removed, especially in the early stages, with a tooth polishing paste such as ApaCare Polish .
ApaCare Polish tooth polish is used 1-2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus supplements it. This allows you to continue professional teeth cleaning at home.
Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning.
Expert tip
Polishing pastes such as ApaCare Polish complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional tooth cleaning. Polish your teeth 1-2 times a week.

This is supported by the right care products, most simply in the form of toothpaste. This should restore to the tooth what is worn away from the tooth surface every day (e.g. ApaCare toothpaste ). Together with fluoride, liquid enamel forms a double protective layer on the tooth surface every day. The teeth are given a healthy white high lustre and at the same time porosity and decalcification are repaired.

White teeth without a guilty conscience
Our tooth colour is genetically determined and is primarily determined by the dentin inside the tooth. Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer
enamel decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour.
During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth
of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from the saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months.
This is not the case when using tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair Intensive Repair: The enamel surface
is permanently smoothened and permanently thickened by depositing highly concentrated liquid enamel from the repair paste (see ApaCare Guide to white teeth and bleaching ).
This also changes the reflective behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth. And this is permanent.

Healthy in the mouth.
As soon as the first tooth has erupted, we spend a lifetime brushing our teeth. Bacteria and plaque need to be removed and, of course, you want a gleaming white smile.
Bacteria are often regarded as nasty, disease-causing germs. And yet
humans and bacteria have developed together over the course of evolution and benefit each other. Our oral bacteria
support digestion and even the regulation of important bodily functions such as blood pressure.
Regular antibacterial oral care measures, as they are still practised
practised on a large scale to this day are, according to the latest studies
rather harmful.
Instead, dental care centres on mechanical tooth brushing: In the areas in the mouth and on the teeth that are reached by the predominantly moving brushes and toothpaste, the healthy oral flora is stabilised and maintained. This prevents disease-causing bacteria from gaining a habitat. As a rule, it is sufficient to brush twice a day, preferably with an automatic toothbrush and a good toothpaste, whereby you will certainly need the usual 3 minutes or even a little longer until all tooth surfaces are clean and the niches are reached.

Whitish or brownish discolouration, structural anomaly up to tooth malformationSo-called chalk teeth are the result of impaired enamel formation during tooth development. Both milk teeth and permanent teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents even both dentitions.
One particular form of this irreversible enamel formation disorder is so-called molar incisor hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the case of permanent teeth.
There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very pronounced morphological changes in shape and structural collapses.

Stress and aggression damage the teeth
Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to extensive grinding.
Expert tip
Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted element in the nervous system for processing tension and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation (relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises).

Acids dissolve tooth enamel So-called "tooth erosions" are usually caused by the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid (reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention is the daily application of repair paste such as ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after brushing your teeth.
Expert tip
You should refrain from brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks (wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them thoroughly beforehand.

There is a wide range of sealing materials available for this purpose, from plastic adhesive (composite) to liquid enamel varnish (ApaCare dental varnish), which are applied to the affected tooth necks depending on the individual situation and are usually hardened. Cervical fillings or crowns are only required in rare cases.

Tooth malformation / stained teeth
Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally different from signs of wear and tear, are "developmental dental malformations". The frequency of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes being discussed being genetic malformations and anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, side effects of medication, trauma or environmental influences. In many cases, the anterior teeth and the first molars (molars) in the posterior region are affected (see ApaCare guide chalk teeth enamel formation disorders hypomineralisation).
Expert tip
Those affected should seek professional advice from a dentist as soon as possible. Particular caution is required when using fluoride tablets or fluoride combination preparations in infants (first year of life) in order to avoid fluoride overdoses in conjunction with modern fluoride-containing children's toothpastes (risk of dental fluorosis: whitish, rarely brownish enamel stains).

From ultrasound to "liquid enamel"
In their search for a suitable transmission medium for ultrasound energy, the researchers came across apatite compounds that are very similar to natural tooth enamel. After intensive scientific exchange, they succeeded in producing synthetic fluorapatite. However, the complex production process initially prevented commercialization. The breakthrough came with hydroxyapatite, which is stable and available in large quantities. The researchers found that certain grain sizes of this "liquid enamel" could close the finest pores and cracks in the tooth enamel and adhere permanently to the tooth surface. Test subjects reported particularly smooth, shiny teeth and visible whitening effects.
