These advertisements make you feel that all you need is just ‘toothpaste’ to avoid visits to the dentist and get shiny white teeth. Well, sorry to get you all disappointed, but toothpastes do not work in isolation. You need to put in other efforts and avoid certain things to get sparkling white teeth that you can show around and enjoy.
So in this chapter, I will share with you on how to get beautiful, shiny & white teeth. Read on to find out how to achieve that beautiful white shine to your teeth! It's all about teeth !
-------------------------------------------------------------
1. Brush Regularly...
This is the most important step, so don't skip it. Teeth should be brushed three times a day. After each meal. Use dental floss after brushing your teeth. Use mouthwash and clean your teeth regularly. Brush for at least 2 minutes.
2. Baking Soda...
Put some whitening toothpaste on a toothbrush and then sprinkle some baking soda on it. Brush your teeth with this. Do this step once a week, and you'll have those pearly whites for the rest of your life!
3. Hydrogen Peroxide...
Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth with this paste, but not too often. It will remove all stains in your month.
4. Bicarbonate of Soda...
Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening.
5. Strawberries...
Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries will remove all the stains. But don't do it too often!
6. Apple prevents bad smell and keeps your teeth healthy and white.
7. Orange peel is also a good teeth whitener. Just rub its inner side along your teeth to achieve good results.
8. Lemon...
Lemon prevents sensitivity.
Mix lemon and baking soda together then brush your teeth with it. You should only use this once or twice a week.
You can also mix a pinch of salt mixed in lemon. It would give you shiny and white teeth.
9. Vinegar and mustard oil are all good substances to whiten your teeth too.
10. Water...
Drink plenty of water everyday. But do not drink much water before meal.
11. Whitening Products...
Don't go over board with the whitening products. If you whiten teeth too often the enamel can wear down and weaken the tooth.
12. Beverages...
Avoid drinking beverages like coffee and beer. Aerated drinks work like poison on your teeth. Even if you have a diet aerated variety it is not good for your teeth. The acid in these drinks rob you of the upper layers of your tooth which contain calcium and phosphorus, thus weakening your jaw bones. This weakening of jaw bones would make you look old. It is said that calcium is first dissolved from jaws even before it goes off from your hips or elsewhere. So, the first tip to get sparkling white teeth is to avoid any kind of carbonated drink. Make sure you avoid black coffee as well because it may cause stains on your teeth which will steal the shine and make it look dull.
13. Drugs and Smokes...
Drugs like ecstasy and Cocaine can cause major issues to the jaws and gums. These drugs cause the removal of the enamel from the teeth and thus wear and tear of the teeth that make them look old. They also prevent blood flow thus removing nutrition off the gums and causing problems. Smoking is not only bad for the health but also for the gums and teeth. Constant smoking can cause blackening of the teeth and further problems in the gum. A lot of people who smoke suffer from gum issues in the future and so it is best to avoid smoking, drugs and other forms of tobacco as much as possible to get sparkling white teeth.
14. Avoid chewing your nails, as it affects the look of your teeth.
15. Chuck your toothbrush or change the head of your electric toothbrush at least every two to three months. Otherwise, you're just transferring bacteria to your mouth. According to Beverly Hills dentist Harold Katz, D.D.S., the best way to brush is by placing your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against your gums and gently moving it in a circular motion, rather than a back-and-forth motion. Grip the toothbrush like a pencil so you won't scrub too hard.
16. ' Detergent' Foods...
Eat 'detergent' foods. Foods that are firm or crisp help clean teeth as they're eaten. Examples are: apple, raw carrots, celery, and popcorn.
Chewing hard, raw fruits or vegetables like apples and carrots produces more saliva. This helps wash away bacteria. It's like natural exfoliation.
For best results, make 'detergent' foods the final food you eat in your meal if you know you won't be able to brush your teeth right after eating.
17. Practice Flossing With Your Eyes Shut...
If you can floss without having to guide your work with a mirror, you can floss in your car, at your desk, while in bed, and before important meetings. In which case, buy several packages of floss and scatter them in your car, your desk, your purse, your briefcase, your nightstand.
18. Conceal With Color...
Choose a medium coral or light red lipstick. These colors make your teeth look whiter, whereas lighter-colored lipsticks tend to bring out the yellow in teeth.
