By Bob Green


Whitening your teeth can be hard to talk about because yellow teeth are pretty embarrassing. Where do you go if you cannot afford a dentist? The article below contains information on how you can easily whiten your teeth by making small changes.

Drink through a straw to minimize discoloration. Many common drinks can cause discoloration; when using a straw, the liquid is not as likely to come in contact with your teeth. Using a straw will avoid direct contact with your front teeth.

You can make your teeth look whiter by eating an apple. Crunchy fruits and vegetables have an abrasive quality that can provide a deep cleaning.

Prepare your own tooth whitening paste by combining baking soda with hydrogen peroxide. Regular brushing with this mixture brightens your teeth in a manner absent of harsh chemical compounds. Take special care so you do not swallow any of the concoction. If you happen to accidentally swallow some, immediately drink several glasses of water.

You should avoid drinking coffee, dark tea and smoking cigarettes. All three of these substances will paint your teeth an ugly brown. If you have to drink these beverages, use a straw, use your lips to form a barrier between the drink and your teeth, or brush your teeth as soon as you are done. Many people have teeth that are discolored because of coffee, tobacco, and tea.

Whitening products can cause your teeth to become sensitive. It might only be temporary, but is is painful. If you experience sensitivity, discontinue use of the product and visit your dentist. Your dentist may have suggestions for alternate products that will not irritate your teeth.

Drink fewer soft drinks. The color of soft drinks can cause tooth stains. Other components in soft drinks can damage your tooth's enamel. As a result, stains will adhere to dental surfaces more easily. If you drink soda regularly, you might have more trouble whitening your teeth than if you abstain from soda for a while before beginning the whitening process.

Use a toothpaste with whitening properties. These toothpastes might not be as effective as other methods, but they can certainly help with new stains and prevent other discolorations. They scrub your teeth using a silica abrasive, which is mild and will not wear away your enamel.

Some whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide, which can cause problems in some people at high concentrations. Using this product is not safe, it can make discoloration worse, and it could even leave the teeth a multitude of shades. Refrain from using hydrogen peroxide when trying to whiten your teeth.

As you have just read about in the above article, you shouldn't have a bad look, because your teeth are not the whitest they can be. Learn to love your smile again with these whitening tips, and you're bound to use it more often.
