How to Keep Your Teeth Healthy and White

If you want your pearly whites to shine like diamonds and be as strong as titanium, then follow these easy oral hygiene tips.

Step 1: Clean your teeth
Keep your teeth clean by brushing and flossing at least twice a day. Brush for 2 minutes and use a fluoride rinse to finish your cleaning regimen.

Tip
Add baking soda to your toothpaste. Baking soda is a natural, gentle abrasive that can help remove plaque from teeth, keeping them clean and white.

Step 2: Eat right
Avoid sugars and starches that can cause tooth decay. Eat your vegetables. Some vegetables and fruits, such as apples and carrots, can help clean your teeth. Don’t forget to eat dairy products. Products like yogurt, milk, and cheese can help neutralize acids and minimize cavities.

Tip
If you’re a fan of fizzy, sugary, or caffeinated beverages, use a straw to reduce staining and sensitivity.

Step 3: Drink water
Drink lots of water. Drinking water after meals or other beverages can keep stains at bay and keep your breath fresh. Tap water is best because it contains helpful minerals like fluoride.

Step 4: Visit the dentist
Make regular visits to your dentist. This will ensure that your teeth are kept clean, white, and strong. Dentists can also catch problems early and recommend treatment options. A beautiful smile is your reward.

Did You Know?
Did you know? The peroxides used in tooth bleach, hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, produce free radicals that can damage cells of the gums or pulp inside teeth.

drinking tap water is only bad if you live somewhere where they don't really filter the water, most places its actually cleaner than bottled water.

Chewing tobacco with a mouthful of instant coffee works well too.

Is seeing a dentist every 10 years considered making regular visits?

@AnobisBloodwing The feeling's mutual, lol. Thanks, and keep spreading the word!

[AtomicKennen]

So why didn't the company that produces toothpaste help us add baking soda?

@Miitzrael
Its nothing like life threatening, its like when I eat it my lips get itchy and my inner ear itches and my throat may feel funny, but I can still keep eating it (tho I don't), it only seems to apply for raw apple tho.
