Did Your Teeth Get Any Better With Recovery?

So I've always had pretty yellow teeth regardless of how well I looked after them. I wondering if people saw improvements in their teeth as time goes by.

I think the color of your teeth is genetic. Everyone has some degree of yellowing per my dentist. Color is also impacted by drugs taken when teeth are developing or drinking tea or coffee. There are teeth whiteners on the market.

Once damage is done to teeth from celiac disease, there is no chance for recovery per my research. I would love for someone to pipe in and tell me that I am wrong!

Have you been tested yet for celiac disease?

I am 2 years gluten free after 30+ years of symptoms.  My teeth changed colors over the 30 years of time.  I recall a dentist saying how colorful they were. He exclaimed about the unique variation in my teeth and didn't know what color to fill them with.   I had many troubles with cavities even though my diet was whole and natural with few sweets.  The hygienists would always complain about my brushing and flossing even when I did do it.  I had swollen gums and much plaque build up at each appointment.  I have not had any new cavities since going gluten free, but-continued the gum and plaque build up trouble.  One hygienist said a mal-absorption problem can cause  build up everywhere saliva touches the teeth.  At least, she noted, that this type of build up, does not promote decay.  Finally last visit there was an improvement in my gums.

Yeah. I can imagine a deficiency in iron, calcium, etc. would cause issues with teeth, enamel, etc. but I was hoping this was something that would fix itself with those nutrients

I think once teeth are formed, they don't change.  You can get better gum health gluten free that will help them to be healthy, but I don't think they can change colors.  Whitening might help.
