why can’t teeth go back to their natural white by washing them daily?
In: Biology
They can, depending on the type of cleaner you use. Toothpaste that has hydrogen peroxide is pretty good for removing tooth stains.
Natural white isn’t as white as you think it is. Everyone’s teeth are different colors naturally. Enamel varies in thickness and transparency between people, and that makes the underlying yellow dentin more or less visible.
Stains can be removed with peroxide agents, but your natural tooth color isn’t brilliant white anyway.
1. The white that you’re probably expecting isn’t natural.
2. Fluoride in toothpaste and drinking water counterintuitively stains teeth brown even though it’s essential to prevent tooth decay. The person who discovered fluoride’s dental benefits observed a community whose drinking water contained deposits of fluoride and while they all had ugly, brown teeth, their teeth were much healthier with fewer cavities.

If you live in the US, people frequently get their teeth whitened artificially, which is not good for your teeth. Consequentially, you may believe the natural whiteness of teeth is whiter than it really is.
It absolutely does for me. My teeth can be as yellow as can be but after 3 days of brushing, flossing, and LISTERINE they’re back as white as can be.
I assume that’s because I’ve never let any permanent staining occur and the mouthwash knocks out all the bacteria clinging to the teeth that brushing misses
Because teeth aren’t naturally white, more like an off-white. Almost all blindingly white teeth have had work done to them, or might not even be teeth at all and are just veneers. Sure, there may be someone out there who genetically is gifted with really white teeth, but almost no one is going to have bright white teeth without something cosmetically having been done to them.
