Tooth discoloration is when the teeth are an abnormal hue, color, or translucency. It can be caused by stain producing substances such as tobacco, coffee, red wine, and sodas. Aging can also cause changes in the color of tooth enamel.
In Ayurveda, yellow discoloration of the teeth indicate a Pitta imbalance and may reflect high levels of bilirubin in the blood or excess Pitta in the liver. Gray teeth are a sign of a Vata imbalance and an accumulation of digestive toxins (ama) in the colon.
Tooth discoloration is not always permanent, and it may be possible to reverse it to a certain extent. To remedy tooth discoloration, avoid the stain producing substances previously mentioned. Practice regular dental hygiene to prevent stains and include oil pulling, tongue scraping and brushing with herbal toothpastes into your routine. Also, following a diet and lifestyle appropriate for your body type will reduce toxic build up that can lead to discolored teeth.
Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Discolored Tooth' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

STAGE OF DISEASE: 3 - ATTACKING TISSUE
If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body, in addition to addressing the disorder. It take a holistic, systemic approach, instead of myopically focusing on the disorder in question. Ayurveda shows a person how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using materials from home, so they can optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing with an exceptional focus on digestion.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda works by first discerning your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda works by analyzing the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of gunas / quali- ties. For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food in relation to qualities (gunas). By eating an optimal diet that balances your gunas, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
