Whitening Tip #1
Chewing Sugar Free Gums for Whiter Teeth
Brushing your teeth after meals is the best way to prevent the food that you eat from staining your teeth. But it's not always possible to brush right after eating a meal, drinking coffee or having some wine with friends.
If
you eat out often and are concerned about your teeth getting stained by what
you eat and drink there is an alternative to brushing. Chewing sugar free gum
after eating or drinking has been proven to help prevent stains and keep your
mouth healthy.
How Sugar Free Gum Helps Your Mouth
How Sugar Free Gum Helps Your Mouth
There are a couple of ways that sugar free gum can help prevent stained teeth.
The
first is that when you chew gum the gum acts like an abrasive on the teeth,
gently scrubbing away any stains as well as food particles and plaque that get
stuck to your teeth. As the gum scrubs away the stains and the debris your
teeth will look whiter and no new stains will be able to set on the surface of
the teeth.
Chewing
sugar free gum also stimulates the production of saliva in your mouth. That
saliva will help rinse debris and plaque from your teeth. When your mouth has
been rinsed by saliva your breath will be fresher and your teeth will be
whiter.

Tip #2
Don't Stop Brushing
Just because chewing sugar free gum will make your teeth whiter doesn't mean that you can stop brushing though. You still need to brush your teeth with toothpaste at least twice a day. Use a toothpaste with fluoride and a soft toothbrush.
Don't
brush too hard, or you can damage your gums. Brush for at least two minutes.
Just simple brushing can be a huge help in getting rid of stains on your teeth
from the food and drinks that you consume each day. Brushing your teeth is
essential for making them healthy and white.
But if you are out with friends eating or you are working late and don't get the chance to brush right after your meal don't worry. Chewing sugar free gums will prevent stains and plaque and keep your teeth white. Just be sure that the gum is sugarless. Sugary gums can end up damaging your teeth and causing decay.

Whitening Tip #3
Don't Smoke
There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn't smoke, but one of them is that nicotine and tar from cigarettes can cause deep permanent stains on your teeth.
The
teeth of people that smoke are often yellow or brown even immediately after
they brush their teeth. It can be very difficult to get rid of those stains.
Smoking also can weaken your teeth and give you cancer, so just don't do it.
It's really not worth it.

Whitening Tip #4
Stop Drinking Soda
Any dark liquid like coffee, wine, or cola soda can stain your teeth. But soda also causes your teeth to break down because of the acid it contains.
As
the enamel on the tooth wears down the stains will get worse and eventually
your teeth will be not only dark and stained but weaker than they should be as
well.
You
should limit the amount of coffee and wine that you drink but stop drinking cola
soda entirely if you want to save your teeth.

Food-Grade Hydrogen Peroxide Is a Tooth Cleanser
One of the best home remedies for stained teeth you probably already have in your cupboard. Food-grade hydrogen peroxide is a great tool for eliminating stains on teeth and preventing new stains.
But,
food-grade hydrogen peroxide can be rough on gums if you use it at full
strength frequently. It's better to dilute it a little bit or use it only on
your teeth.
How it Works
How it Works
Food-grade hydrogen peroxide first attacks stains, plaque and food debris left on teeth and then gently lifts that debris off the tooth so it can be rinsed with saliva or water.
The
natural action of the peroxide is a great tooth cleanser and it will naturally
whiten your teeth. However you need to be sure that you are using food-grade
hydrogen peroxide and not just the peroxide that you can buy in the drugstore.
Food-grade
hydrogen peroxide is specially purified and has none of the contaminants that
drugstore quality peroxide has. Food-grade peroxide is safe to be consumed if
you accidently swallow some while you are using it to whiten your teeth.
How to Use It
How to Use It
There are several ways that you can use food-grade hydrogen peroxide to whiten your teeth and prevent stains. You can brush your teeth with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda which will clean and whiten teeth.
Or
you can use a toothbrush or small brush to apply peroxide to each tooth
individually. Another way you can get the benefits of peroxide for tooth
whitening is to rinse your mouth with a small amount of peroxide after meals.
Mixing
the peroxide with a little water is a good way to tone down the peroxide if
it's too intense for you to use as a mouthwash. Over time peroxide may irritate
the gums so watch for any redness or signs of irritation in your gums after
using peroxide.

Baking soda is one of the best natural cleansers and it's safe to use on your teeth as well as for cleaning around the house. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, a naturally occurring mineral. It has been used for thousands of years in cooking, as a cleaning agent, and for treating dental and mouth problems.
Baking
soda is a great natural tooth cleaner and it can whiten your teeth and prevent
stains. It is cheap and easy to find at any grocery store. Here are a few easy
ways that you can use baking soda to prevent stained teeth:

The simplest way to use baking soda to prevent tooth stains is to brush with it before you brush with your normal toothpaste.
Pour
a little baking soda into a small container or just remove the top of the box.
Dip your toothbrush in some water or hold it under the faucet until all the
bristles are wet. Dip the toothbrush into the baking soda. The baking soda will
stick to the wet bristles on the brush.
Brush
your teeth for at least two minutes with the baking soda then rinse your mouth
thoroughly. The baking soda will help eliminate stains and prevent new stains.
Add Baking Soda to Your Toothpaste

Brush
your teeth the way that you normally would with the toothpaste and baking soda
mixture. Just be careful not to brush too hard if you do this, because the
baking soda can be abrasive and cause irritated gums if you're not careful.
