Firstly, you have to pay attention to what touches your teeth. Every bit of food and drink needs to be cleaned out of your mouth, of course, but there are also certain foods and drinks that can turn your teeth dark more quickly. For instance, if you drink a lot of dark sodas, such as root beer or cola, your teeth will become discolored in a hurry. Another teeth-staining menace is coffee. Drinking soda through a straw, so that it does not touch your teeth, is one way to combat this problem. And as for coffee, it takes us to the next point for you to keep in mind.
The second piece of advice for you to remember is this: remain aware of what stays on your teeth. Even though brushing each morning and night is good, it is not nearly as good as brushing after every meal! Get that food off of there right away. And remove that coffee from your teeth also! As soon as you see the bottom of the mug, go brush your teeth.
Finally, pay attention to what you are brushing with. If you are buying the cheapest "whitening" toothpaste, you have to remember that there is a reason why it does not cost much money. The higher-end toothpaste does not cost that much more, and it just might be worth it. After all, a couple extra dollars for much whiter teeth is a pretty good trade off!
Clean teeth are usually a sign of healthy teeth, which means that these tips are not purely cosmetic either! All you have to do is pay attention to what you allow to touch your teeth, what you allow to stay on your teeth, and what you use to clean your teeth, and your teeth will stay whiter, and they will also stay a whole lot more healthy.
