Say Yes to Whiter Teeth

By Robert Ursel


For a relatively inexpensive way to whiten teeth, consider some of the over-the-counter products offered in drug stores and retail stores. The options include pastes, trays, or strips, each whitening your teeth to varying degrees. These methods are all good options rather than spending money on getting your teeth whitened professionally.

If you want to get great results from using teeth whitening products, be sure to start with clean teeth. Some whiteners work best on clean teeth. The best way to prevent uneven whitening is by thoroughly cleaning your teeth before applying any whitening products.

Before you use any over-the-counter whiteners on your teeth, it is important that you consult with your dentist. The person who can give you the best advice is a professional. You can learn a lot from a dentist, so don't hesitate to ask for advice since it's their job. You can gain insightful information on how to whiten your teeth as well as side effects from certain teeth whitening treatments.

If you have unfilled cavities or have been diagnosed with gum disease, you should not attempt to whiten your teeth. These conditions must carefully be looked after, so you don't worsen the problem before they are treated. Before you start a new whitening treatment, you should first consult your dentist.

Whitening mouthwashes can help whiten your teeth. While this particular method may take many months to produce results, it is effective overall. Many mouthwash products contain hydrogen peroxide that has been proven to aid in whitening the teeth. An easy way to incorporate this into your daily routine is to rinse with the mouthwash just prior to brushing, preferably twice per day for about 30 seconds.

Flossing your teeth is very important. Flossing stirs up the bacteria and plaque that lead to discoloration around your teeth. Start carrying dental floss with you everywhere, and strive to always use it after eating. A good flossing before bedtime is especially important, because sleep can be the best time for bacteria and plaque to grow if you don't treat them.

Eat cheese to improve the strength of your tooth enamel. The high amount of calcium present in cheese is excellent to help you rebuild tooth enamel. When you have strong enamel, your teeth are stronger, whiter and overall more beautiful, so add this snack to your diet a couple times every week.

Are you a smoker? If so, you must stop. Smoking stains the teeth and teeth whiteners are not as effective for smokers. The smoke stains may even be too tough for the whitener to fix. A total waste of money. Continuing to smoke after whitening your teeth will quickly undo your hard work.

Rub the bark of a walnut tree gently on your teeth to remove stains and discolorations of all types. The stains that walnut bark works best on are yellow discolorations from tobacco or soda. With time, stains and discoloration will disappear, giving you brighter, whiter teeth.

Contrary to what you may have heard, you won't get whiter teeth using lemon or lime juice. You should avoid eating these fruits. These juices have a lot of acid that will wear down your enamel and can cause more discoloration of your teeth, and cavities as well.

There is currently no reason for anyone to have yellow, stained and discolored teeth. Get a nice smile with many of the teeth whitening items on the market which you can use at home. Of course, it is possible to get great results from professional processes, though you can save lots of money and get similar outcomes by whitening your teeth at home
