TEETH WHITENING TIPS

The following are some of the simple tips for teeth whitening:

  • Do not take sugary foods in any form. Chocolates are also not good. If you do consume such foods, never forget to wash your mouth thoroughly with strong gargles so as not to leave any sweet residue in the mouth.

  • Do not take excess tea and coffee. These beverages contain strong alkaloids which can stain the teeth.

  • Smoking also makes the teeth lose the white coloration of the teeth.

  • Chewing betel leaf (paan) is done in several Indian regions. This is also disastrous to the whiteness of the teeth.

  • Include pungent, bitter and astringent foods in your daily diet. These tastes have an astringent effect on the teeth that helps to maintain them clean. They also take care of the excess buildup of plaque on the teeth, which makes them lose their pearly white color.

  • Brush your teeth after every meal, or at least in the morning and before going to bed. While brushing your teeth, take care to sweep out all the embedded food particles.

  • Excess consumption of antibiotics is also harmful for teeth and gives a stain.

  • Eat guava, apple, sprouts, carrot, sugarcane, and cucumber fruits to prevent yellowing of teeth.

  • Drink lots of water as this makes your skin hydrated and removes plaques from your teeth.

  • Include green and fibrous vegetables in your diet to keep your teeth white and bacteria free.
