Or she went to a dentist and got them whitened. The natural color of teeth is slightly yellow.
very unlikely.
I won't say impossible, but is extremely unlikely for a few reasons.
she's literally the last person I would expect to get teeth whitening from the dentist.
she doesn't shave her legs or use makeup or anything, doesn't really make sense that she would get teeth whitening.
hasn't even got her wisdom teeth out yet, terrified of dentists.
quick note, the outermost layer of teeth is white.
You're talking about the inner layer, dentin.
most yellow coloring on teeth is from use over the years, oils and fats and stains like coffee or alcohol that color the white enamel.
Dentin itself, the part of the teeth you see, is naturally white.
