Why to Have Your Smile Bright?

By Annabel Yvette


Everyone wants to have a white smile, and people spend hundreds of dollars every year to achieve this goal. A great smile is very important, and not only for women, so having white teeth is also important. When you want to brighten your smile you may consider using all kinds of whitening products, order some trials and spend even more money. You can save all the trouble and money if you just follow a proper care routine for your teeth. In this article, you will find what you have to do in order to keep your teeth healthy, white and to have a great smile.

The first thing you need to have in mind when you think about a proper oral care is brushing your teeth regularly, so you can keep them stain free. Brush your teeth correctly, using a small circular motion over the teeth and the surfaces of the gum line. Remember to brush your teeth after each meal and before you go to bed for white and healthy teeth. Another thing you must do is floss regularly after every snack or meal you take to keep food, plaque and everything else from remaining in places you can't reach and lead to some dental issues later.

If you want to start a fluoride treatment, it is a good idea because it will help you have strong teeth and keep them this way. But make sure you consult with your dental practitioner first. He is the only one that can tell you if this treatment is good for you and what you need to do. Everyone needs a healthy diet in order for his body to function properly. Make sure you eat lots of fruits, vegetables, foods rich in calcium and avoid junk food. You can also eat hard, raw vegetables. This will give your body the extra nutrients it needs and will prevent the plaque from building up. As a result, you will have white and healthy teeth.

If you are smoking, try to stop this bad habit, because smoking it can turn your teeth yellow. Even though you are taking good care of your oral hygiene, smoking may leave unsightly spots and weaken your teeth. Also, avoid drinking coffee, red wine or lots of sodas, because they also affect your teeth, making them yellow or grey. If you can't give up on coffee, try to brush your teeth immediately after consuming it, to minimize the damages.

Sodas are also bad for the teeth, and a good thing to do when drinking one is to use a straw. This way you will limit the contact between the soda and your teeth, getting fewer stains and you will be able to keep your teeth white and healthy for a longer time. Without noticing, people usually suck their drinks through their teeth when drinking, allowing the liquid to go through them. This will only get more stains, so using a straw is a good idea. Also, you need to do regular check-ups at the dental practitioner, even if you don't think there is any problem. If there is, you will catch it early and be able to treat it easily, so you can have healthy and white teeth.
