What To Do For Whiter, Brighter Teeth
Yellow teeth can be a cause of lower self-esteem and is an indication of poor dental hygiene. Although it takes time to acquire yellow stains on the teeth, the issue can be resolved quickly. Here are a few ways that you can make your smile whiter and brighter.
Avoid Certain Foods And Drinks
Certain foods and drinks can exacerbate the look of yellow teeth. Foods that do this are highly pigmented or contain high sugar, which leads to tooth decay and therefore discoloration. Simply avoiding the following foods can help keep your teeth shining like pearls:
Red wine
Chocolate
Curry sauce
Spaghetti sauce
Soda/ pop
Balsamic vinegar
Soy sauce
Strict Oral Hygiene Routine
It is normal for teeth to discolor as you age. Ensuring that you have a strict oral hygiene routine that includes the following will help lessen the discoloration of your teeth:
Brush twice daily
Floss once daily
Use fluoride toothpaste
Use mouthwash
Regular Dental Hygienist Cleanings
Visiting your dental hygienist regularly is an extremely effective way of keeping your teeth as white as possible for as long as possible. Even if you have an extremely good oral hygiene routine, it is not advisable to skip your recommended dental hygienist appointment. Targeted cleanings performed by dental hygienists will remove stubborn plaque and tartar from regions that an everyday toothbrush cannot reach, keeping your teeth white for longer.
Professional Whitening
A professional whitening by your dental hygienist is the most effective way to whiten your teeth quickly. A professional whitening treatment at Maple Dental Hygiene Care can get your teeth significantly whiter in a quick, easy, and painless treatment.
