Four Steps to Perfect White Teeth

White Teeth-Chispa MagazineIn today’s look conscious world, having the perfect smile is becoming more and more important. People don’t just want their teeth to be straight, they also want a bright, white celebrity smile. There’s no denying that white teeth look better; if your teeth are stained and discolored, you’re less likely to want to smile and this could have a more negative effect on your self-esteem than many people realize. While some discoloration of the teeth is to be expected over time, the good news is that there are several simple steps that you can take to achieve the gleaming white smile that you want.

Step No. 1 Visit Your Dentist
First and foremost, it’s important to make sure that you look after the health of your teeth. Even if you are using teeth whitening kits, whitening paste, and other products to improve the gleam of your pearly whites, if there is a problem with your dental health then this will eventually show through in your smile. It cannot be stressed enough just how important it is to go for regular dental checkups so that your dentist can spot the early signs of any potential problems along with giving you advice about how to best care for and maintain your teeth.

Step No. 2 Use Approved Whitening Products
With gleaming white teeth so highly in demand, it’s no surprise that there is a huge selection of whitening products on the market to choose from today. However, bear in mind that not all the tooth whitening products that you find will be safe, so it’s important to do your research before you set out to buy one of the best home teeth whitening kits. Although the safest option is to have your teeth professionally whitened by a cosmetic dentist, this may not always be possible for some people as it can be an expensive procedure. Your dentist will likely be able to recommend a home whitening kit that is safe to use. Be sure to always follow the instructions carefully.

Step No. 3 Watch Your Diet
When we eat foods and drink beverages, our teeth are the first point of contact. Each day, your teeth go through a lot! When it comes to achieving a bright, white and healthy smile, it’s not just your dental care habits that matter. The foods and drinks that you consume each day also play a huge part. Avoid any substances that may stain your teeth, such as gravy, red wine, or dark sodas. Beware of eating too many sugary foods, as these can lead to tooth decay, which can also lead to tooth discoloration.

Step No. 4 Quit Smoking
If you are a smoker, then this bad habit could be one of the biggest contributions to stained or discolored teeth. Although your cosmetic dentist will be able to remove any stain build-up with a simple treatment, over time, smoking can cause serious damage to your teeth which can be difficult or even impossible to repair. If you need help with quitting smoking, then your doctor will be able to help.
