Some teeth stain easier than others, are more susceptible to cavities than others, or have more plaque build-up. Whatever the case, healthy teeth is an important part of your daily care routine.
When you have red wine, black tea, dark juices, smoke cigars, or smoke cigarettes, be sure to brush your teeth immediately after. This will help to reduce the staining from what you've just put in your mouth.
Never keep a toothbrush more than 3 months. Bacteria can build-up in the toothbrush after time, which will cause bacteria to spread each time you brush your teeth instead of cleaning them. In addition, brush your teeth by placing the toothbrush against your gums at a 45 degree angle and move in circular motions, instead of back and forth.
Always clean your tongue. Toothbrushes now come with scrapers on the back of the head of the toothbrush. Use the scraper to remove plague and freshen your breath. Scrapers are more useful than just brushing your teeth.
Eating firm or crisp foods at the end of a meal, instead of the beginning, will also help clean teeth without using a toothbrush. Apples, raw carrots, celery, and popcorn are what is called "detergent" foods.
Garge with Apple Cider Vinegar before brushing helps remove stains, whitens teeth, and kills bacteria in your mouth and gums. However, do not swallow the vinegar.
To help with whitening, brush with baking soda once a week. Use it as you would toothpaste. Another option is salt. If your gums start to feel raw, brush your teeth with salt every other day. Again, do not swallow the baking soda or salt mixtures.
To check for bad breath, lick your palm and smell that spot while it's still wet. Make sure when using mouthwash that is doesn't contain too much alcohol. Alcohol-free mouthwash is preferred. The alcohol in mouthwash will actually dry out your mouth and can make you more susceptible to bacteria.
Learn to floss without your eyes. Practice flossing without using your eyes so that you can floss in your car, your bed, at the office. Flossing after each meal will help keep bacteria from building up. Buy multiple packs and have one everywhere.
Brush twice a day. Brushing in the morning and then again before bed will help keep bacteria from building up. Brushing in the morning actually helps get rid of any plaque off your teeth that may have built up during the night from lack of saliva. Brushing at night will help clean your teeth of the plaque from the day.
Wear brighter lipstick. Neutral or light toned lipstick actually brings out the yellow in your teeth. By wearing brighter lipstick it helps to bring out the whiteness of your teeth.
