Have a Whiter and Brighter Smile

By Sabriel S Lacey


Each one of us would like to have a smile that is great and healthy. Even though intellectually we are aware that an artificial white smile isn't at all natural, we all the same like the way it looks. The fact is that a white smile is simply prettier than one that has yellow undertones or is stained, etc. Everybody is judged on how the care for their teeth. Don't lie; you judge others for this also. This indicates, then, that you need to work on keeping your smile as white as you can. The following are several tips.

It is vital that you brush your teeth for at least two minutes twice each day. It is not enough to just swipe a toothbrush around one or two a day. Invest in a good electric toothbrush like the Rotadent brush and spend no less than half a minute on each quadrant of your mouth. This helps make sure that each surface of your teeth gets brushed. Furthermore, it helps see to it that you get more than just the top layer of gunk off of your teeth.

There truly is such a thing as excessive whitening. These days virtually all toothpastes have a bleaching agent built into them. If you decide to use these and a few teeth whitening trays and bleaching agents, you can actually overdo it. You might even start to observe that your teeth are starting to look blue, particularly close to the edges. This is a clear indication that it is time to quit the whitening for a while! It's important to choose a gentle whitener as well. Harsh whiteners can eat away the enamel on your teeth and do more harm than good. Your teeth may turn whiter but you will be more apt to have cavities as well. Be extremely careful!

Besides the whiteness of your smile, you're also judged on the freshness of your breath. This means that you ought to be sure that you are taking steps to keep your breath fresh as well as keeping your teeth white. The tongue is a great place for bacteria to thrive and hide. This can cause really terrible breath, particularly later in the day. Invest in a good tongue scraper and make sure you use it regularly. See to it that you are using it right. 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 become as clean as possible for as long as possible.

Don't skip the flossing! Let's repeat that: floss your teeth! Yes, flossing is irritating and awkward and, from time to time, painful. It nonetheless has to be done. These days there are all kinds of flossing tools that can help you get the job done more quickly and easily (such as the flossing sticks you'll find at the drugstore) Flossing is truly important because even the very best mouthwashes and electric places can't reach the places that floss can reach. Floss at least once daily to remove all of the gunk out from between your teeth and under the gum line. This will help your mouth continue to be as healthy as possible and, in turn, it continues to be white and healthy too.

Good luck!
