Influence of curry - how curry affects the natural color of teeth


Curry is an extremely popular spice blend in Germany, which can now be found in various food products, including ketchup, many ready-made meals, or as a marinade for different meat and meat substitute products. Curry can be used in a versatile way and tastes good with almost everything.

Unfortunately, the regular consumption of curry also has a downside. It has been shown that people who consume curry more frequently have darker teeth. The reason for this is the many dark color pigments in curry. The originally Indian spice thus represents one of many factors, alongside tobacco, red wine, and coffee, that can negatively affect the natural color of teeth. The effect is indeed very weak, but still present. However, white teeth are considered by many to be a desirable sign of attractiveness, and sometimes simple oral hygiene is not enough to achieve the desired result. However, this is not a cause for concern, as there are many different methods to restore the whiteness of teeth.

One of the simplest and fastest methods is to avoid curry. However, this would mean a loss for many people, as curry is highly sought after for its typical flavor. For those who do not want to give up curry, there are various alternatives that are slightly different in taste. As can be read repeatedly in various forums and communities, turmeric is also said to have a teeth-whitening effect. This is initially surprising because turmeric also has dark color pigments, but the effects are said to be noticeable. It is suggested to either chew the root or mix the powder with water and then use it like a mouthwash. However, it should be noted that there is currently no scientific proof for this touted effect, and secondly, the effect is rather short-term in nature.
