Tooth Whitening Guidelines


Clean, sparkling teeth
are so much a part of that total impact that make you attractive to
others. We all know the importance of taking care of the teeth, yet
tooth decay is probably as common cold.
Guidelines to Keep Your Teeth White


Whitening
treatments don't yield permanent results. If you expose your teeth to
foods and beverages that cause staining you may see the whiteness start
to fade in as little as 1 month. Those who avoid foods and beverages
that stain may be able to wait one year or longer before another
whitening treatment or touch-up is needed.
You worked hard to get your teeth white. Here are some Guidelines to help maintain your pearly whites.

• Avoid
  the consumption of or exposure to products that stain your teeth. If
  you do choose to consume beverages that stain, consider using a straw
  so that the liquid bypasses your front teeth.
  
• Brush or rinse immediately In the post consuming stain-causing beverages or foods.
  
• Follow
  good oral hygiene practices. Brush your teeth at least twice daily and
  floss at least once daily to remove plaque. Use a whitening toothpaste
  (once or twice a week only) to remove surface stains and prevent
  yellowing. Use a regular toothpaste the rest of the time.
  
• Consider
  touch-up treatments. Depending on the whitening method used, you may
  need a touch-up every 6 months or In the post a year or two. If you
  smoke or drink lots of stain-causing beverages, you may need a touch up
  more often.
  

Guidelines on Proper Brushing


Dentists say that the minimum time you should spend brushing your teeth
is 2 minutes twice a day. Here are some Guidelines on how to brush
properly:

• Hold your brush at a 45-degree
  angle against your gumline. Gently brush from where the tooth and gum
  meet to the chewing surface in short (about half-a-tooth-wide) strokes.
  Brushing too hard can cause receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and, over
  time, loose teeth.
  
• Use the same method to brush all outside and inside surfaces of your teeth.
  
• To clean the chewing surfaces of your teeth, use short sweeping strokes, tipping the bristles into the pits and crevices.
  
• To
  clean the inside surfaces of your top and bottom front teeth and gums,
  hold the brush almost vertical. With back and forth motions, bring the
  front part of the brush over the teeth and gums.
  
• Using
  a forward-sweeping motion, gently brush your tongue and the roof of
  your mouth to remove the decay-causing bacteria that exist in these
  places.
  
• Use an egg timer or play a favorite song
  while brushing your teeth to get used to brushing for a full 2 to 3
  minutes. Some electronic toothbrushes have timers that let you know
  when 2 minutes are up.
