subject: How To Keep Teeth White Safely? [print this page]


If you are planning to visit your dentist for teeth whitening, have a look at this article before you go. This article will help you ensure that what your dentist is doing is not only effective for your teeth but safe too. All whitening kits are not safe and though you may have shining white teeth after whitening, a few months later the enamel of your teeth will start breaking down and as a result you will have weaker teeth. Thus, even though the method is attractive, be sure you take care of the points given below:

Check the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in your whitening kit. It should not be too high. A 10% concentration is optimum. Always pick out for whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes. They are relatively safer as compared to teeth whitening kits such as whitening strips and trays. The whitening kit that you purchase should have a seal of approval from the Dental Association. This will ensure the safety standards of the product. Follow the instructions carefully mentioned on your whitening system so that there are no chances of mistakes. Do not let whitening gels remain on your teeth for more than the prescribed time. This will leave you with painful teeth forever. Home bleaching techniques should be used very carefully.

White glowing teeth are loved by all. If you have white teeth, you feel more confident and beautiful while smiling. When your teeth start yellowing because of the staining of the enamel, you become conscious and start feeling embarrassed. This is because you can't smile and secondly because yellow teeth reflect a negative picture about your levels of hygiene. There are lots of teeth whitening techniques but as mentioned above, they are not safe. They also require you to spend large amounts of money. Thus, it is wise that you keep the following things in mind and never have yellow teeth:

Strawberries help in teeth whitening. They are natural bleaching agents. Sugary foods should be avoided. They increase the build up on the teeth in return making them yellow. There are certain drinks like tea and coffee which are stain mongering. These beverages should be avoided.

It will be beneficial if you avoid them. Drinking them with a straw can reduce the harmful effects. This way the drink cannot touch your gums and teeth. You can prepare your own toothpaste with baking soda, lime and salt. The toothpaste should not contain too much lime since it will harm the enamel of your teeth.
