Achieve A Megawatt Smile Naturally

Everybody wants to achieve a perfect smile but unfortunately teeth lose its color with age. Even if you properly take care of it, your teeth can get stained by cigarettes, coffee, carbonated drinks, tea or red wine. In fact, the food that we chew sometimes gets stuck between the crevices of one's teeth. At times, just brushing twice a day does not help. Unfortunately, modern treatments that make use of peroxides may become a very harsh option, especially for sensitive users. However, it is possible to achieve a bright smile by following a simple preventative approach to staining and by using a combination of good oral hygiene habits and natural teeth whitening methods.

Maintaining a Preventive Approach

Diet that contains high sugar is injurious for teeth. You must avoid all food items that have very high sugar content. If you are having juices, the ideal way to have them is through a straw. Similarly, other liquids including tea, coffee and red wine should be taken at the minimum. You must also avoid having sticky food items such as peanut butter, dried fruits etc. Food that gets stuck to teeth may not only increase tooth decay, it may also harm the gums. In case you cannot avoid having these items, make sure that your rinse your mouth immediately after consuming them.

Smoking and chewing of nicotine also stain teeth. In fact these habits may even damage the tooth enamel.

Whitening Teeth Naturally With Diet

You can whiten your teeth by eating more crunchy and hard vegetables. Eating raw vegetables such as carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers and celery can scrub away the stains by creating an abrasive action. However, make sure that you brush your teeth with utmost care as overzealous scrubbing may lead to removal of tooth enamel thereby revealing the yellowish dentine. This may also promote tooth sensitivity.

Home Remedies for Teeth Whitening

Eat Strawberries

Strawberry is in natural teeth whitener. Muric acid present in strawberries may help in removing surface stains thereby whitening teeth naturally. You can also prepare a strawberry paste by crushing few strawberries and then mixing it with half a teaspoon of baking soda. Just spread this paste on your teeth and let the paste work for approximately 5 minutes. After five minutes, you can brush with a toothbrush and work the paste. After you have massaged your teeth and gums well, rinse your mouth with water.

Apple Cider Vinegar

You can use Apple cider vinegar both as in natural tooth whitening products as well as a mouthwash. It is important for you to make sure that the Apple cider vinegar you use is pure and preferably organic. In order to get rid of the vinegar smell and flavor, you can use normal toothpaste after you have brushed your teeth with apple cider vinegar or have used it as a mouthwash.
