India, Feb. 8 -- Yellowing of teeth with age is a common occurrence that can be attributed to various reasons. This can even occur in some cases when dental hygiene is rigorously maintained. And the reason is unbelievably on the nose, according to Dr Mark Burhenne, California-based dentist with nearly 40 years of experience.

Dr Burhenne blames turmeric (or haldi) as the reason behind the yellow-orange spots on the teeth. However, it is not the spots themselves that are his concern with the consumption of the spice.

Highlighting the benefits of turmeric, he stated in an Instagram post on February 7, "Turmeric isn't wellness hype. It's a low-risk, high-reward way to quiet inflammation - from bleeding gums to seasonal allergies."
