Excellent Tips For A Brighter, Whiter Smile.

By Tom Hanson


You've come to the right place if you've been wanting to try to whiten your teeth, but are not sure how to go about it. This article contains many tips to help you answer all of the questions you have about whitening your teeth. It also gives you a step by step guide on how to get excellent results.

When you are thinking about whitening your teeth, remember that teeth whitening only works on natural teeth. Artificial teeth or applied surfaces will not whiten in the same way. Implants, veneers, fillings and crowns are examples of these artificial surfaces. Your own teeth will be lightened but that will only highlight the artificial dental work and the results won't be pretty.

Mouthwash could discolor your teeth. Alcohol is found in many commercial mouthwashes and can be responsible for removing enamel, yellowing your teeth. Check with your dentist, though, to be sure that you have healthy enough teeth to skip mouthwash.

Sometimes whitening gels are the answer for whiter teeth. Many drug stores and even grocery stores sell these products. As an added bonus at is far cheaper than seeing the dentist. However, the dentist might be your only option when your teeth are extremely discolored.

A good toothbrush is essential for keeping your teeth their whitest. Your dental professionals will have advice about the right toothbrush for you.

Keep your teeth white is by giving your teeth a brush as soon as you get up in the morning, and right before you go to bed. At night, your saliva dries, which creates an environment where bacteria flourish.

Contrary to what those commercials preach, toothpastes with fluoride in them are actually bad for your smile. Fluoride is a found in water and food and is a chemical. Unfortunately, one of the downsides of fluoride is that it may cause tooth discoloration. Choose a natural toothpaste such as Tom's of Maine instead to avoid this side effect.

Consume more dairy products. Milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products contain minerals that help teeth remain strong and healthy. They strengthen your enamel which in turn makes your teeth less prone to staining. Eating an abundance of dairy foods can help you have whiter, healthier teeth.

Coffee, wine, and tobacco are vices you want to avoid. Chemicals in these items bond to your teeth making it difficult to keep your teeth stain-free. If you decide to carry on using these products, then remember to brush your teeth immediately afterwards. Keep a disposable toothbrush in your wallet or purse to keep your teeth clean. The abrasiveness of the toothbrush is what gets your teeth sparkling clean.

If you have any type of gum disease or cavities that have not been treated, you should not do any form of bleach whitening at all. This can exacerbate any problems you already have. It can also cause you a great deal of pain. As your dentist about methods that will be safe and effective for your situation.

As was stated before, teeth whitening can do wonders for your life by boosting your self confidence. Being able to smile freely and have teeth that you're proud of can make all the difference in your life. If you apply these simple methods, you'll see how easy it is to get a great smile and beautiful, white teeth
