Your Smile Can Turn Brighter and Whiter

By Sabriel S Lacey


All of us wish for gorgeous and healthy white smiles. Although intellectually we know that a bleached white smile isn't absolutely natural, we still like the way it looks. The simple fact is that a really white smile is more attractive to us than one that is yellow or tarnished. Dental health is something on which we are all judged. Don't try to lie; you do it also. This indicates, then, that you must be working on keeping your own smile as white as possible. Use these tips to help yourself.

Make sure that you brush your teeth no less than two times daily and for at least two minutes every time. It is not enough to simply swipe a toothbrush around twice a day. You should get yourself one of the better electric toothbrushes available (like the Rotadent brush) and use it for a minimum of half a minute on each quadrant of your mouth. This helps make sure that each and every surface of your teeth is brushed. It helps you ensure that more than just the topmost layer of gunk is removed from your teeth too.

There really is such a thing as excessive whitening of the teeth. These days almost all toothpastes have a whitening agent built into them. When you use these together with the trays and other bleaching agents, you can actually overdo it. You might even begin to notice that your teeth are starting to look blue, especially close to the edges. This is a clear indication that you need to cease the teeth whitening for a little bit. Also, it is vital that the whitener you choose is gentle. Harsh whiteners can eat through the enamel on your teeth and cause more harm than they can help you. Your teeth may be whiter but you will be more likely to have cavities also. Watch out!

Besides a whiter smile, you will be gauged on how your breath smells. This means that you must make sure that you're doing everything you possibly can to keep your breath fresh as well as attempting to keep your teeth white. The tongue is a good spot for bacteria to fester and hide. This results in awful smelling breath, especially later in the day. Buy yourself a quality tongue scraper and then use it. Be sure that you use the tongue scraper correctly. Try not to over scrape; a few good swipes should do the job. You should follow it up with a good mouthwash so that your mouth will be as clean as possible for as long as possible.

Be sure that you floss! Hold on, let's say it again: floss! Yes, flossing can be annoying and difficult and, at times, painful. It still needs to be done. Today there are all kinds of flossing aids that can help you get the job done more rapidly and easily (like the flossing sticks you'll find at the drugstore) Flossing is very important because even the very best mouthwashes and electric places can't reach the places that floss can reach. Floss at least once a day to get rid of all of the gunk out from between your teeth and beneath the gum line. This will help your mouth continue to be as healthy as possible and, in turn, it remains white and healthy also.

I wish you the best of luck!
