I am wondering how to get from having translucent parts of my teeth to them becoming white? Like what are the recommended toothpastes for this change.

Good day

Usually any toothpaste with fluoride is recommended. It is always important to note certain areas are normally a bit more translucent depending on the thickness of enamel. This is part of normal tooth structure.

Hi
Should be such a drastic change in colour or a gradual one to being translucent?

Hey,
It depends on your opinion of what drastic change is.
Usually as we get older, our enamel layer becomes thinner. Some people are born with an already thin enamel layer. As the enamel layer becomes thinner, it can lead to some sensitivity. In worst case scenarios, it requires RCT or full coverage crowns.
Some people who have a very acidic diet, such as drinking lots of lemon juice and other similar drinks, accelerates this process.
