Tips For A Whiter Smile:

1 – Avoid dark colored beverages like tea, coffee and cold drinks. Or use a straw, it helps the drink bypass the teeth and gums and cuts down on your chances of having dingy teeth.
2 – Avoid sugary foods between meals. They tend to add to the build-up on the teeth, leading to their yellowing.
4 – Rinse your mouth with water or an alcohol free mouthwash every time you eat or drink something dark in color.
3 – Include lots of vegetables, like cucumbers, broccoli, carrots and raw sweet potatoes, in your diet. This will help dissolve anything that would cause deep stains.
5 – Another option would be to chew sugarless gum right after meals. This will stimulate saliva in your mouth and will help wash away food debris.
6 – Brush your teeth at least two times a day – once in the morning and once before going to bed at night. Use whitening toothpaste to remove surface stains and prevent yellowing.
7 – Use over the counter whitening kits.
*To lessen tooth sensitivty use sensodyne prior to whitening. If you have severe sensitivity talk with your dentist…they carry tooth gels they will remineralize your teeth and prevent pain.
8 – Oh yeah, and quit bad habits like smoking. It’s not just bad for your teeth.
