Tips for whiter teeth

Whiter teeth are everyone’s dream but not everyone can realize it. It depends on genetic, on what you eat, how you care about etc. Smile is the best accessory that anyone can wear and it will always remain in vogue. 

But with getting older and adopting some “bad habits” you have to work harder to maintain them white and healthy. You see everyday, famous people with bright-white teeth and your question is, HOW?  

There are so many choices in market, toothpastes, whitening stripes or specific treatments to your dentist. We want to propose you some simple rules to follow up and to achieve what you want:

1. Oral hygiene

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

Electric toothbrush is more effective on removing stains on the tooth surface comparing with the classic toothbrushes. Make sure you choose a trusted brand and your teeth will thank you for that.

6. Flossing

You must not underestimate flossing between teeth because an important amount of stains are there. Floss at least twice a day to keep your teeth healthy and whiter.

Following these simple habits, you will have teeth like a Hollywood Star.
