I have been brushing my teeth for the past half hour
And the yellow tint to my teeth will not for the life of me go away. I've been brushing all over the place, front, back, everywhere in my mouth. I still have a slight yellow tint when I examine after each attempt. The middle looks slightly better but the sides definitely have a more yellow tint to them.
Is this normal? I'm trying to take better care of myself and I have no intention of visiting the damn dentist. Should I just keep brushing until it gets better?
EDIT: UPDATE: I wont ever brush for half an hour again like you guys said. I'll only brush twice a day for five minutes every day. And I'll have a small glass of water after having acidic food/drinks.
Several issues here:
1. You're not supposed to brush more than 5 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day
I wouldn't be surprised if you're tearing the shit out of your gums right now
2. It takes time to whiten
You're not going to whiten your teeth in one day's brushing, I would think you're smart enough to figure that out.
3. There's bleaching and several other things you could do to speed that along
Though I myself would just stick to brushing and mouthwashing, flossing is a waste of time in my opinion
