You have beautiful hair, skin and clothes. With a mouthful of stained, yellowed teeth, however, it is almost impossible to look and feel your best. The ideas included below will provide you with the information that you need to whiten your teeth.
This solution does not harm your teeth as badly as other whitening strips that are out there. Put a bit of hydrogen peroxide in your mouth and swish around, but make sure you don’t swallow any. Use this technique once or twice each week.
You can go to your dentist to have laser tooth whitening done. Your teeth will look whiter after only a few sessions. After a bleaching agent is applied to the teeth, a laser is used to activate the whitening properties. Instantly, your teeth will be 5-6 shades lighter.
Stay away from wine, coffee, and cigarettes. Each of these contains chemicals that adhere to and discolor your teeth. If you are unable to cut these things out, then brush your teeth after using them. Some companies offer mini brushes that you can slip onto your finger and use as a substitute toothbrush. This helps if you don’t want to carry your toothbrush everywhere. It is the abrasiveness that is really responsible for getting your teeth clean.
You really should go to the dentist prior to whitening your teeth if you have untreated cavities or gum disease. Be extra cautious with any whitening technique if this is the case. Your dentist should be able to provide advice on how to safely whiten your teeth, whether through professional services or using over-the-counter products safe for your dental issues.
Some popular fruits are actually useful for whitening teeth. A couple examples of such fruits are; strawberries and oranges. Mashing strawberries into a paste and leaving it on your teeth for five minutes can whiten your teeth. You can also use an orange peel for whiter teeth by simply rubbing it on your teeth.
It is possible for teeth to become sensitive to whitening products. Experiencing discomfort with teeth whiteners may be temporary situation, but it’s still painful. If your teeth do become sensitive, discontinue use of the product and see your dentist. Your dentist might recommend that you use a different product that is less prone to this effect.
When using home teeth-whitening products, make sure you follow the directions specifically. All this will do is cause gum inflammation, tooth sensitivity, and the possibility of causing irreparable damage to your teeth. Follow the instructions and leave the whitening products on for the specified amount of time, but not any longer.
As you know after reading the tips above, there is simply no excuse to go through life with yellow, stained teeth. When you start applying the tips laid out in this article, you’ll gain the confidence to smile much more often.
