A member asked:
What does it mean if the outsides of your teeth are white and the insides are yellow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically: The enamel (outer surface of the tooth) is whitish in color, though can vary in shade / color. The dentin (inner layer) of the tooth is a yellower color. That is if i understand your question correctly about "outsides and insides".
