10 TIPS TO GET YOUR SMILES READY FOR THE SILLY SEASON!
10 TIPS TO GET YOUR SMILES READY FOR THE SILLY SEASON!
1. Ladies, choose your lipsticks carefully! Reds with an orange tint can make your teeth look
more yellow, while a bold red can make your teeth look whiter
- Switch to white wine or bubbly instead of reds
- Limit any food with heavy, bright colour, e.g. beetroot, curries, berries. Think “white diet”!
- Crunchy foods such as apples, celery and carrots can help ‘exfoliate’ your teeth, eliminating plaque deposits which contribute to staining, and increasing saliva flow to wash it out.
- Have some water after your coffee to ‘wash’ it out of your mouth and away from the teeth
- Cut down on coloured drinks such as Fanta,Coke and dark juices – otherwise drink through a straw to avoid them coming into contact with your teeth
- Chew gum for 20 minutes after eating – produced saliva will help to wash out any food particles that may stain teeth
- Brush your teeth twice a day and floss nightly. Whitening toothpastes can be used twice a week to help reduce any staining
- Visit a dentist for a professional clean, which will remove most stubborn stains.
- Consider professional tooth whitening with your dentist – nothing will work as well as this!
