yellow teeth

Needs a whitening

Yellow teeth are teeth that have become discolored, typically from aging, tobacco use, coffee, tea, or poor dental hygiene.

The phrase often carries connotations of neglect or unattractiveness: He smiled, revealing yellow teeth.

Yellow teeth appear frequently in unflattering physical descriptions.
