Influence of curry - how curry affects the natural tooth color

November 25st

Curry is a spice mixture that is extremely popular in Germany and can now be found in a wide variety of foods, including ketchup, in many ready-made meals or as a marinade for various meat and meat substitute products. Curry can be used in many ways and goes well with almost everything.

Unfortunately, regular consumption of curry also has a disadvantage. It has been shown that people who consume curry more often have darker teeth. The reason for this is the many dark color pigments in the curry. The originally Indian spice is one of many factors alongside tobacco, red wine and coffee that can negatively affect the natural tooth color. The effect is very weak, but still there. However, white teeth are considered by many to be a desirable sign of attractiveness, only simple oral hygiene is sometimes not enough to get the desired result. However, this is not a cause for concern at first, after all, there are many different methods of getting the tooth color white again.

Don't miss out on curry with OnlySmile

One of the easiest and fastest ways is to avoid curry. That would mean a loss for many people, however, as curry is so popular because of its typical taste. If you don't want to do without curry, there are various alternatives that are slightly different in taste. As you get to read again and again in various forums and communities, turmeric is also said to have a tooth-whitening effect. This seems surprising at first, because turmeric also has dark color pigments, but the effects should be noticeable. You should either chew the root or mix the powder with water and then use it like a mouthwash. However, it should be said that there is currently no scientific proof of this advertised effect and, secondly, that the effect is more of a short-term nature.

If you still don't want to do without curry, there is an inexpensive and efficient way to keep your teeth white.
