Having A Brighter Smile Through Teeth Whitening

By Pepe Smith-Jimson


Many people have yellow, discolored teeth that they are ashamed of, yet they are afraid to do anything about it. If you're one of these people, you shouldn't be afraid to try it. It can be extremely liberating to have a smile that isn't embarrassing. This article contains many easy tips to help you gain that great smile you've always wanted.

Change your toothbrush at least once every 2 months. If you fail to do this you can cause more bacteria in your mouth which can cause problems with the color of your teeth. This can also cause other problems with your teeth and mouth which can lead to problems in the future.

For the whitest and cleanest teeth possible, invest in an effective electric tooth brush. The more expensive models of electric toothbrushes can help brush your teeth more effectively than humanly possible with a manual toothbrush. Make sure you invest in a rechargeable electric toothbrush with replaceable heads for the best value.

Some fruits can naturally whiten your teeth. Strawberries are great for whitening. You can rub them on your teeth or mash them up into a paste, brush them on, and leave them for about five minutes. Rinse your teeth well. Orange peel is also good for whitening. You can rub it directly on the teeth. Another natural fruit tooth whitener is lemon juice and salt mixed together.

The use of pure rock salt and water on a tooth brush can be an effective way to whiten and brighten your teeth. It is a cost effective way to get that white bright smile that you have wanted since your youth. Adding this to your regular dental routine can be a great asset to your smile.

In addition to good dental hygiene, use toothpaste and mouth wash that contains whiteners. This may not provide instant results or overly noticeable teeth that are extremely white, but it will help keep daily stains away from your teeth. With consistent use, it will also slightly whiten up your teeth over time.

When you are considering getting a brighter smile you shouldn't overlook the most basic tools at your fingertips. By using a whitening toothpaste you may not make a huge difference in the color but it does help a good deal and it is an easy thing to add into your day to day life.

One cheap and easy solution for making your teeth whiter and your smile brighter is to apply baking soda to your teeth. This is a very old, time tested method that works! Make a paste with water, and let the baking soda sit on your teeth for 5-10 minutes for best effectiveness.

When you are consuming a beverage such as red wine or grape juice, use a straw to drink your beverage so that you are not causing instant contact between the tooth and the stain from the drink. This way, you minimize the time that the pigments have to set in the teeth and cause the stained look.

People seem to have a negative attitude about teeth whitening, that it is artificial and unnatural, or that it is painful and time consuming. But if you follow these proven tips and methods in this article, you'll see that it's not that difficult and can give you a gorgeous smile with less time and effort than you think.
