5 Simple Ways to Maintain a Bright Smile
Your smile is one of the first things that other people will notice about you when you first meet. Having a beautiful, bright smile is something that many people long to have, and it’s easier than you think to attain. Caring for your oral health is just as important as visiting the doctor’s office for your annual check-up; staying on top of your dentist visits will help you to achieve the pearly white smile you have always wanted. Consider some of the following methods to maintain your bright white smile.

Wear and Clean Your Retainers

If you have previously had braces, you need to consistently wear your retainers otherwise your teeth will shift back to where they used to be. It is extremely important to wear your retainers, because this helps your teeth to remember their new position. In between eating and sleeping you should always clean your retainers thoroughly to avoid the build up of dirt and debris. Wear your retainers overnight and don’t forget to take them with you when you travel too.

Brush and Floss Twice Daily

It goes without saying that brushing your teeth in the morning and the evening will help to keep your teeth in good health. However, flossing is something that many people don’t take as seriously. Believe it or not, flossing twice a day can reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth loss as it helps to remove bacteria from the mouth that cannot be reached by a toothbrush alone.

Reduce Tea and Coffee Intake

Tea and coffee can stain your teeth if you drink them often without brushing straight afterwards. In many cases, it’s impossible to brush your teeth when you’re out and about in a cafe so how do you get around this? Many people are now drinking their hot beverage of choice through a straw as it prevents the liquid from coming into contact with the teeth.

Cut Down on Sugar

Over time, sugar can cause cavities and break down the enamel on your teeth. This is why you should look into reducing your sugar intake on a daily basis. Whether you indulge in a sweet pastry at breakfast time, or you’re partial to a chocolate bar at the end of a busy day, there are so many reasons to cut down on the amount of sugar in your diet.

Use Teeth Whitener

There are a number of effective teeth whitening solutions that can be carried out at home, or via  a professional dentist. Make sure you consult a professional before attempting this yourself, as you may have an adverse reaction. If you’re looking for a more gentle or natural route to teeth whitening, you could always use a whitening toothpaste as part of your daily routine. Additionally, you can also consider looking at various brands, such as Pola Teeth Whitening, or similar others, to find the one that is convenient for you. Whether you go for professional treatment or at-home solutions, it is important to maintain consistency and proper care for best results. Moreover, make sure to always follow the instructions provided with your chosen product for safe and direct use. ​

As soon as you adopt all of the following methods, you will soon be on track to achieving and maintaining a beautiful and bright smile. Whether you’re cutting down on your caffeinated beverages or flossing more regularly, there are so many different ways to get the sensational smile you deserve!
