Are you unable to flaunt a sparkling white smile? Do you long for white teeth? More than 90% people globally are opting for professional teeth whitening services. Dull, yellowish and stained teeth are a constant source of nuisance irrespective of age and gender. While professional teeth whitening is expensive and time-consuming, there are DIY options available as well. 

However, with a few smart and simple tips you can prevent your teeth from getting discoloured. Here are a few teeth-whitening tips you should definitely follow to get sparkling white teeth. 

What are the common teeth whitening tips that you should follow?

Stop smoking

Smoking is not only injurious to health but also injurious to your teeth. The nicotine and tar present in cigarettes stain your teeth over time. The longer you smoke, the more stains you will develop. Although professional teeth whitening options will help you get white teeth, if you start smoking again, the stains will come back on the surface of your teeth. 

Limit beverage consumption

Limit consumption of coffee, tea, acidic fruit juices and wine so that you can avoid stains on the tooth enamel. Moreover, if you’re addicted to tea and coffee, make sure you drink them in a single sitting instead of drinking them over a prolonged period. Keeping the liquid in the mouth for a long time exposes the enamel to the beverage, causing long-lasting stains on the surface. 

Use whitening toothpaste

Some toothpastes contain whitening ingredients like baking soda and peroxide. Book an appointment with dentists. Ask them to list the pastes and start using them. Although this will not give you sparkling white teeth, it will remove the stains from coffee, tea, and wine from the surface of your teeth. 

Brush and floss everyday

Brushing every day is a daily hygiene habit. However, do you floss daily? Flossing is not a common practice. 9 out of 10 people do not floss their teeth daily. Unlike brushing, flossing helps remove food debris and encourages a brighter smile. Book an appointment with dentists, and they will guide you on the proper flossing technique. 

Use custom-fitted teeth whitening trays

Custom-fitted whitening trays are available in almost all pharmacies. These trays have a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Use them and get instantly whiter teeth. With these trays, you can visit the dentist, and within two sittings, they will fix the issue. 

Change your diet

Include foods like watermelon and strawberries in your diet, as they contain malic acid, which helps whiten your teeth. Avoid eating pineapples, as they dissolve the pellicle, which can lead to tooth discolouration. Some other teeth-whitening foods include apples, cauliflower, and green tea, which help increase saliva secretion in the mouth and help remove acids generated by bacterial deposits. 

While there are many viable options, visiting a professional dentist is always the best choice. Book your appointment with Avant Dental. We can help you with professional teeth whitening services. Contact us for more information.
