The Secret To White Teeth

Everyone wants a Hollywood smile, especially if they can get it without a Hollywood price tag. Home teeth whitening kits are becoming increasingly effective which means an expensive visit to the dentist is no longer necessary. I’ve put together a little guide on teeth whitening and how to achieve it. Now all you need to do is read and repeat…fabulous.

What Discolours My Teeth?

Staining drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine and foods such as curries, bolognese and chocolate. Not only this, smoking, poor cleaning technique and infrequent hygiene appointments with your dentist can all lead to discolouration.

How Can I Make My Teeth Whiter?

Home whitening kits, whitening toothpaste and mouthwash are all ways you can make your teeth whiter without professional treatment. Most of the home whitening kits require you to place a mouth piece in boiling water and then shape it to your mouth. Once you have your ‘tray’ for the top and bottom set, you’ll be able to apply the mild peroxide based gel which will gently whiten your teeth over a short period of time.

Is It Safe To Whiten My Teeth?

Yes, teeth whitening is safe as long as you follow the instructions included and consult your dentist straight away if you have any questions or problems.

How Long Do The Effects Last?

The effects can last up to 12 months but this really depends on your lifestyle and whether you smoke.

How Do I Maintain White Teeth?

Make regular hygiene appointments with your dentist and brush and wash with whitening tooth paste and mouth wash. Also, be sure to brush your teeth after every meal to prevent staining.

Should I Be Using An Electronic Toothbrush?

It’s medically proven that electric toothbrushes clean better than manual ones and can also lead to whiter teeth. You don’t need anything fancy or expensive, just a standard battery operated toothbrush will do the job nicely. You’ll certainly be able to notice the difference after using a manual brush.

What’s The Best Mouth Wash To Use?

I recommend Listerine Complete which not only takes care of your oral hygiene but it also helps keep your teeth white.

How Often Do I Need A Hygiene Clean?

I’d recommend every six months however if you feel your teeth need a little extra attention then once every three months is definitely OK.

And…

A big white smile can increase your confidence and well-being and that ladies – is priceless.
