You have 32 teeth not only help you to talk and chew, they can make or break your appearance,So what can you do to keep your pearly whites sparkling.
1 - Go On a White-Teeth Diet.
What goes into your mouth shows up on your teeth. So if you’re drinking a lot of colored soft-drinks , gravies and dark juices,or black tea, and smoking cigarettes, expect the results to show up as not-so-pearly whites.
Notice that if it’s dark before you put it in your mouth, it will probably stain your teeth.
- Step one: brush your teeth immediately after having foods that stain.
- Step two: regularly use a good bleaching agent from your dentist.
- Step three: be conscious of tooth-staining foods and drinks, and have them only when a toothbrush is around. If not, have an apple for dessert.
2 - Brush Your Teeth for 2 minutes at least .
The ideal amount of time to brush to get all the bacteria-packed plaque out is at least two minutes. Use your watch or keep a timer in the bathroom and set it for 2 minutes.
3 - Hold ( Grip) Your Toothbrush Like a Pencil.
Brushing with force is not the best way to remove plaque. The best way is to place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against your gums and gently move 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.
4 - Drink a Cup of Tea Every Day.
Flavonoids and other ingredients in tea seem to prevent harmful bacteria from sticking to teeth, and also block the production of a type of sugar that contributes to cavities. Tea also contains high amounts of fluoride.
5 - Replace Your Toothbrush Regularly.
Throw away 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.
Select your brush not to be too hard or too soft ,it is better for both the teeth and gum.
6 - Use Alcohol-Free Mouthwash.
Most over-the-counter mouthwashes have too much alcohol, which can dry out the tissues in your mouth, making them more susceptible to bacteria. Some studies even suggest a link between mouthwashes containing alcohol to and an increased risk of oral cancer. To be safe, be a teetotaller when it comes to choosing a mouthwash.
Do not use the colored mouthwash unless described with your dentist
I hope it was useful .
Thanks
