and not yellow. I mean they dont brush them.

Why are sharks teeth white?
Tooth enamel is naturally white. Animals that have discolored teeth get that way because of the things they eat. Generally animals with permanent teeth (mammals) that eat vegetable matter will have the most discolored teeth due to the tannins (same substances that make coffee and tea stain human teeth) in plants.





As there is nothing in flesh to stain teeth (blood doesn%26#039;t stain enamel) carnivores tend to have whiter teeth.





But with sharks (and other animals that constantly shed their teeth) the teeth never have the chance to get stained as they are replaced so often.
Reply:Of course they brush them. Daily with Crest.
Reply:salt water and fish blood cleans them good probably
Reply:almost all terestrial animals do have teeth colouration unlike aquatic and more specifically marine water habitats they help in the flushing and cleansing of their teeth and gum and their method of eating those nat really affect the teeth cos he doesnt chew but uses the impact of the closure of his collosal jaws renders the animal lifeless so it cuts through and swallows.
