Being stuck with your yellowish teeth is a shame, if only, whenever you saw a person with a set of perfect white teeth, you could approach that person and ask him or her, "What's your secret? Why are your teeth so white?" If only it would not be embarrassing to ask a complete stranger about his or her teeth, you would have done it a long time ago.
This article will give you some of the best secrets to whiter teeth that will help you achieve that perfect white smile you have always wanted.
Secret # 1 Baking soda- Not many people are aware that baking soda has natural bleaching capabilities. Mix it with salt, and voila, you got here a natural whitener you can use in place of toothpaste for cleaning and whitening your teeth.
Secret # 2 lemon juice- Lemon juice is also a natural whitener that you can apply onto the surface of your teeth so that it would be whiter and shinier. Let the lemon juice stay on your teeth for a couple of minutes and then rinse your mouth afterwards with water.
Secret # 3 - Stay away from coffee, coffee is one of the culprits to stained teeth. If you are such a coffee addict, what you can do is to rinse your mouth or brush your teeth after you sip this beverage. Other types of teeth staining food and drinks include tea, soda, red wine, dark colored berries, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. If you cannot avoid these items altogether, the least you can do is to gargle water or brush your teeth after eating or drinking any of these.
Secret # 4 - Do not over brush your teeth. Over brushing your teeth rigorously or too frequently, can cause the enamel to be eroded. When this happens, the darker shade of teeth layer called dentin is revealed. Therefore, the secret here is to brush gently and only twice or thrice a day. Anymore than that and you will be overdoing it.
Secret # 5 - Purchase over-the-counter teeth-whitening products. We all know that these products are available for this specific purpose. However, the real secret lies in how you choose the teeth whitening products to buy, you may want to check with your dentist or get suggestions from friends who have used such products-just make sure you do your homework. Hydrogen peroxide is the common ingredient used in teeth-whitening products. The quantity of this ingredient determines the degree of effectiveness of the product.
You would not want something that is too harsh for your teeth especially if your teeth are sensitive, so make sure you check first with your dentist.
Make sure you start doing something about the stains and discoloration that you have so long wanted to get rid of, and you can achieve teeth whitening giving you that dazzling smile. - 29879
