One of the dental treatments – and a very popular one, these
days! – is teeth whitening. However, before undergoing such a treatment, you
should know that there are other methods to try that do not require making an
appointment with your dentist.
So, here's what you can do at home.
1 - One of the most commonly used teeth whitening methods,
which is available to anyone, is through an adequate diet.
Certain foods have tooth whitening properties, to some
extent. Apples and carrots have abrasive properties, gently cleaning the
surface of the teeth, lemon juice removes stains, and dairy products contain
protein and lactic acid that protect against caries.
2 - Another way to have whiter teeth without visiting your dentist
is to avoid foods or drinks that cause stains.
Black tea, coffee, red wine - are just some of the most
important beverages with an intensive staining effect.
3 – Brushing your teeth after each meal, using whitening toothpaste
is another option for having beautiful teeth. You can also add sodium
bicarbonate, salt or hydrogen peroxide.
4 - For a truly significant whitening effect, you can use a
special whitening gel, but this solution requires a pre-visit to the dental office. Your dentist recommends you a gel and creates silicone dental trays to
support it. Check out a local friendly dentist at http://www.drcathysmiles.com/ to help improve your smile.
