Many people are unhappy with the colour of their teeth and the quality of their smile.
Here are some tips you can use to keep your teeth clean and brighten your smile:
Daily Brushing and Flossing
Brush your teeth with a soft-bristled or an electronic toothbrush for two minutes.
Don’t forget to floss at least once a day, preferably before bedtime. Finally, remember to clean your tongue.
Use A Normal, Fluoride-Enhanced Toothpaste
Whitening toothpaste contains mild abrasives, but they won’t do much against entrenched discolouration.
The trick is not the toothpaste, but how well you brush your teeth.
Fluoride Mouthwashes Can Help In Keeping Teeth Clean
Fluoride attaches to tooth enamel increasing the hardness and smoothness of teeth.
This in turn makes it easier to eliminate plaque, calculus, and tooth decay.
Visit Your Dentist Regularly
Your dentist Yeronga is your teeth’s best friend.
Schedule a regular check-up to keep your pearly whites strong and healthy.
Avoid Foods That Stain Your Teeth
Keep your pearly whites shining by saying no to foods that can stain them. Next time you shop, put more teeth-friendly food in your pushcart.
Quit Smoking Or Using Any Other Tobacco Products
Tar in tobacco sticks to the surfaces of the teeth.
It stains the enamel and aids plaque build-up and calculus formation, thus making it more difficult to clean your teeth.
Why Do Teeth Go Yellow?
Many things can cause your teeth to turn yellow, but why does it happen? Long story short, it has to do with your enamel.
Enamel is the hard, outermost layer of your teeth and although it is very protective, it is easy to stain. Your enamel can become stained due to many factors, such as;
Age – As you get older, your teeth can start to yellow naturally as your enamel wears over time.
Tobacco – Smoking cigarettes, pipes, and chewing tobacco are all ways in which you can stain your teeth.
Medication – Some medications, such as antibiotics and antihistamines, can cause teeth to darken and yellow.
Acidic foods and beverages – Acidic foods and drink such as wine, sugary foods and soft drink can all cause your teeth to discolour.
Coffee – Unfortunately, your daily morning coffee can also cause your teeth to yellow.
Poor oral hygiene – Of course, if you are not looking after your teeth, they are far more likely to get stained.
The best prevention of teeth yellowing is to watch what you eat and, of course, practise proper oral care.
Not only does brushing and flossing your teeth prevent them from staining, but it also prevents things like decay and disease and will save you a lot of dental money in the long run!
