Oral hygiene is the first and the most important step to whiter teeth. You must keep your teeth clean and wash them at least, twice a day.  According to a cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills, Dr. Arthur Glosman, “Your teeth will look beautiful only if they are healthy, if they are sick, they will not only look ugly but will cause toothache, headache and an unpleasant breath. 

2. Crunchy vegetables and fruits

Fruits and vegetables are very important for our health including our teeth. Crunchy fruits have abrasive properties that help to remove stains from teeth. Eat an apple or a carrot to clean the teeth surface and not risking the enamel.

3. Chew a sugar-free gum with xylitol

Teeth plaque feeds on sugar and the best choice for you chewing gum is sugar-free with xylitol. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener that also helps to prevent plaque by increasing the production of saliva. The last one is the substance that keeps your mouth moist, helps you to chew, taste and swallow. It’s a natural cleanser. But if you don’t keep your mouth clear, saliva can’t do it’s role. 

4. Skip baking soda

Besides the conviction that baking soda removes surface stains and bleach your teeth, you can’t use it for a long time. Using it regularly can cause abrasive effect on your teeth so can damage the enamel. Instead find an appropriate tooth paste, clinically tested about its abrasive properties.

5. Use electric toothbrush
