I have no clue how this discussion came
about, but just for an example of the
mistaken impression that colouring is a sign
of bad oral care, I have generally white
teeth, most would assume I have good oral
care, if a need for an orthodontist, but I
haven't brushed since..oh ages.   Well, not
true, I brush when I need fresh smelling
breath fast, but oral hygiene isn't something
I picked up (long story).

On the other hand, my mother has generally
yellowish teeth and she brushes and flosses
and whatevers daily.  (It's annoying really)

So general colour/appearance of a tooth is in
no way an indication of weither they are good
teeth or bad teeth.  It's the thing you can't
see that'll tell you about teeth.
