How to Keep Teeth Looking White

Taking care of your teeth is not only good for your overall health, it can also boost your self-esteem. Incorporating a few new habits into your daily routine will ensure a whiter smile.

Instructions

• 1

  Avoid products that can stain your teeth. Limit red wine, coffee, tea, and berries. If you do consume these, make sure to brush your teeth afterwards.

• 2

  Stop smoking. It is one of the worst culprits that can yellow your teeth.

• 3

  Brush with baking soda or peroxide. Both of these products are natural whiteners and are used in many commercial products.

• 4

  Buy commercial teeth whiteners at your local drug or grocery store. Consider whitening strips, mouthwash, or a whitening toothpaste.

• 5

  See your dentist. Having a dental cleaning every six months can keep your teeth cleaner and whiter. Dental offices also provide whitening procedures that are very effective in helping your teeth maintain their brightness.
