Everyone desires a dazzling smile, and it’s not impossible to achieve!
Are you tired of having dark teeth or coffee stains? What people don’t understand is you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on professional whitening treatments for a bright smile. You can achieve the same results with a much more affordable solution.
With a little bit of patience, you can have a bright white smile in just a few weeks. Follow these easy teeth-whitening tips to achieve the dazzling smile you so desire:
Flossing
This isn’t a trick to get you to floss again! Everyone skips the flossing stage when in reality, not only is it important for the health of your teeth, it also helps your teeth look cleaner and whiter.
Floss gets up in your gums, which is where our teeth start to create a yellow or brown tint from the things we eat and drink. It also helps if you’re using whitening strips because the strips don’t get deep enough in between your teeth and gums. If flossing isn’t one of your top priorities for your teeth hygiene then you need to change that if you want a dazzling smile!
Baking Soda
You will notice most whitening tooth pastes contain baking soda, so to ensure you achieve a brighter smile quicker, you should also be brushing your teeth with it. Baking soda is one of the most effective tools for teeth whitening, and it is also affordable and easy.
First, brush your teeth with your whitening toothpaste. Then, simply apply several teaspoons of baking soda to a drop of water to create a paste like substance and brush the powder onto your teeth. Brush thoroughly for a full minute and then rinse well.
Most people see results in just three days, however, it will take about two weeks for others to notice!
Charcoal Powder
Charcoal Powder is the new baking soda. There have been many successful cases of those who use charcoal powder to whiten their teeth. It works just the same as baking soda; mix a few teaspoons of the charcoal powder with a drop of water and brush it on your teeth.
If you want optimum results, there is no harm in trying both baking soda and charcoal powder to whiten your teeth, but just ensure your spacing out each treatment—you don’t want to irritate your gums.
You can find charcoal powder at a local super store, or online on Amazon. Brushing your teeth with charcoal or baking soda is something you can continue to do for as long as you desire. If you want to maintain a white smile, then brush with it every night before you go to bed.
Drinking With A Straw
The reason why your teeth are not naturally pure white anymore is because of what you eat and drink. What we constantly put in our mouths is the number one factor that contributes to the color of our teeth.
Most of all, drinking strong things like coffee, wine and dark sodas do the most damage (besides smoking). If you are trying to get white teeth, and currently undergoing whitening treatment remedies, start using straws when you drink your favorite beverages.
You don’t need to give up your live for coffee just to have a white smile; simply add a straw to your drinks (hot or cold) because the liquid will shoot straight to the back of your throat rather then hitting the teeth first. Straw wont fully eliminate liquid from touching the teeth, but it helps.
Whitening Tooth Paste
Whitening toothpastes do not achieve fast results. However, if you are undergoing whitening treatments, it helps maintain your white smile. If you are using a whitening toothpaste and nothing is happening that is because you can’t do it alone with just toothpaste. Combining it with flossing and a natural whitening remedy on top of using whitening toothpaste is the quickest way to a whiter smile. Just remember to never rely on just the toothpaste, as it will really only help when you are already undergoing whitening treatments.
