Stains?: Your teeth might be yellow from stains that have been absorbed into the enamel. Once absorbed, the best oral hygiene practices will not remove them. Please speak to your dentist about whitening options.

I my front teeth and lower teeth gums are red only. It's not caused by oral hygiene and either brushing hard. I been cleaning it a year now and its red still no matter how much I clean and floss. It has to have a different cause than oral hygiene?

The sides of my tongue have begun feeling some minor "prickly burning" sensations. I am unsure what caused this. I constantly brush my teeth and floss so I am not sure if it's an oral hygiene issue. I do wear retainers at night. Any clues to cause?
