Framing up your beautiful smile

Framing up your beautiful smile

A smile is universal, it crosses racial barriers and cultural differences and as a famous proverb once said, “all people smile in the same language.” Your smile is also one of the most beautiful features of your face. Teeth whitening is one of the most effective ways to give you a brighter, whiter smile. However, to keep your teeth looking their best between any teeth whitening treatment, here are some do’s and don’ts from the experts at Somerset Dental Care.

Eat more: Strawberries, crunchy fruits and vegetables

For people who want to brighten their smile, eat strawberries, it’s not only good for you, but it whitens your teeth naturally in between whitening sessions.[1]  Strawberries are natural teeth whiteners because they contain vitamin C to help remove plaque and a natural astringent to help remove stains. Other edible teeth whiteners include crunchy fruits and veggies like apples and celery.

Drink less: Soft Drink, Coffee and Alcohol

Tooth decay is caused by the bacteria that forms in plaque, leaving a damaging layer over your teeth. The bacteria in the plaque layer feeds on the sugar in sweet drinks, accelerating their damaging effects. The more you drink, the more energy you give these bacteria to attack the enamel on your teeth. It is best to choose beverages like milk, which help strengthen teeth and build stronger enamel, giving you a healthy, beautiful smile and water which hydrates your body longer than sugary drinks.

Maintain: a good oral hygiene routine

You should brush your teeth at least twice a day – morning and night. Even better, brush an hour after eating or drinking anything to protect your teeth and gums from sugars or acids in your food. Proper brushing takes at least two minutes. Move your toothbrush in a gentle, circular motion, brushing every surface of your mouth, including your tongue.
