White teeths diet

Tips for teeth whitening. You may be able to get rid of superficial stains by yourself. A number of at-home tooth-whitening products — kits, strips, toothpastes, and rinses– may lighten stains. There are even some old-fashioned remedies you can try. Tooth-whitening products available on drugstore shelves use mild bleach to brighten yellow teeth. Toothpastes use abrasives and chemicals to remove surface stains. For deep stains, you may need a dentist’s help.

Use Activated Charcoal: Activated charcoal is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to naturally whiten your teeth. Crush up one charcoal tablet into a powder. Dip your clean wet toothbrush into it, and brush your teeth as you normally do.

There’s also a rebound effect from teeth whitening, where teeth will relapse slightly in shade. You may be whitening your teeth and stop at a certain point once you’re happy with the results, but I would recommend going a bit beyond that because of the rebound effect. A study estimates that up to 50 percent of the effectiveness of bleaching products at a dental office may rebound within just a week. This is particularly true when you eat or drink staining foods or drinks in the first seven days.

For some people, the fear of dentistry is so great that it prevents them from attending the dentist for regular maintenance such as 6 monthly exams and hygiene visits. They will attend only when in pain, which in turn will reinforce their fear. We are sympathetic to these feelings and can offer ways to overcome the fears with different techniques. Relaxation is a way in which we can teach our brain to be in control of the body not vice versa. When we are faced with something we are afraid of, our bodies produce substances which raise our anxiety. Learning relaxation controls our bodies.

We place a huge emphasis on preventive dentistry which starts at the very beginning of each patients journey with their initial assessment. We like to educate patients with diet and hygiene advice so they can help prevent potential dental situations. We feel preventing new dental issues is our responsibility and take huge satisfaction in the knowledge that our beautiful dentistry could potentially last for the rest of a patients life.
