10 tips for naturally white teeth

According to a recent poll, 67% of Britons want whiter teeth, with one of the reasons stated being stains on the teeth can age the appearance by 12 years.  

In case you were wondering how to have whiter teeth in a more natural way, here are 10 tips for you to do it, according to celebrity dentist Rhona Eskander.

  • Regularly visit your dentist for check-ups and professional cleaning so as to remove the plaque.
  • Floss. This step is essential for having whiter teeth.
  • Make sure to get a proper and efficient toothbrush, and change it every 2 to 3 months.
  • Brush your teeth right before you go to sleep and first thing when you wake up, so as to have all plaque cleaned off.

  • Try and eat foods that are ”white”. For instance, go for white wine or champagne over the red one, or lattes instead of black coffee.

    • Avoid energy drinks, as their acid can have the same eroding effects as eating citrus fruits
    • Remember to brush your tongue as well, as it also accumulates bacteria which can lead to decoloration.
    • Give up smoking, as this is one of the worst things you can do to your teeth.
