Sparkle That Smile!

- White teeth Diet: you're gulping down red wine and black tea, or smoking cigarettes or cigars, colas, gravies, and dark juices expect the results to show up as not-so-pearly whites. FACT: If it's dark before you put it in your mouth, it will probably stain your teeth. Rinse with water immediately after eating or drinking foods that stain teeth and visit the Your Dentist’s Clinic at 6 month intervals for regular Dental Scaling and Polishing or Dental Whitening if required. For convenient teeth-cleaning action, eat an apple.
- Change your toothbrush: every 2 months or as soon as you feel the bristles are growing apart, else you are only making your mouth dirtier. Use the tooth brush at a 45 degree angle to the teeth and gums for effective dental cleaning. Use a circular motion rather than a back and forth motion. Don’t forget to brush your teeth when you get out of bed, and before you go to bed.
- Clean your Tongue:with a tongue cleaner or a tooth brush, to remove deposits on the tongue and freshen your breath. Plaque on your tongue could be one of the main reasons for bad breathe in your mouth.
- Eat Fibrous Foods: Foods that are firm or crisp help clean teeth as they're eaten. We already mentioned apples (otherwise known as nature's toothbrush); other choices include raw carrots, celery, and popcorn. For best results, eat these fibrous foods at the end of your meal if you know you won't be able to brush your teeth right after eating.
- Chew Gum: Chewing a Sugar free gum, with baking soda can help you keep your teeth white and plaque free.
- Floss your teeth regularly:if you have gaps between your teeth, use a inter proximal brush to keep the area clean.
- Cosmetic tip for the Ladies: Use a Medium Coral or Light Red lip Colour, these make your teeth look whiter. Light shades can make your teeth look yellow.
