We’ve all had a moment where we look in the mirror (or zoomed in on a selfie) and think, tooth fairy where art thou? I want whiter teeth. While dentists cannot grant every wish, achieving whiter teeth is definitely something they can help with. From drinking out of straws, teeth-friendly fruits to the most effective at home whitening treatments, get comfy on the sofa and have a read of these abra-cadabra- top tips for whiter teeth.
Dig into foods that whiten your teeth
Strawberry fans listen up – we have some good news. Did you know strawberries are a natural teeth whitener? The juicy fruits contain malic acid which helps remove stains, and it’s not only strawberries that do whitening wonders for your teeth. Many crunchy fruits and vegetables increase saliva which can help scrub away plaque and bacteria. Dairy products are also top of every dentists ‘dig in’ list; they contain calcium which can prevent tooth decay. Coffee often gets a bad rep for causing stains, one tooth-fairy approved switch you can make is swapping your morning latte for green and black teas. Both contain antioxidants that can reduce bacteria in the mouth. Sip, sip hooray.
Brush regularly with a high-quality toothpaste
While brushing your teeth does not actually whiten, it does remove plaque and harmful bacteria that can cause cavities that dull the teeth. Brushing twice a day and flossing once a day is one of the simplest ways to take care of your teeth. Also choosing a dentist-approved toothbrush and toothpaste can go a long way to protecting the brightness of your smile. Many toothpastes make big claims about whitening. Ask your dentist for a recommendation for the best products for your teeth and what ones actually keep those big promises.
