Methods 1: Take care of your teeth.
1. Brush your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes each time. Brush your teeth immediately before going to bed and after getting up. Squeeze some toothpaste, gently circle with a toothbrush, and brush your teeth up and down. Brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes at a time, not too hard. This is the best way to protect enamel and keep your mouth healthy and clean. Brush your tongue several times after brushing your teeth or clean it with a tongue scraper.
Ordinary toothbrush is a good brushing tool, but electric toothbrush is more conducive to maintaining the correct brushing method. They won't make your teeth cleaner, but you can easily master the correct use of electric toothbrushes.
Brushing your teeth more than twice a day will actually wear away the enamel on your teeth. Brushing your teeth too hard or too often won't make your teeth cleaner.
2. Use fluoride toothpaste to keep enamel healthy. There is no better substitute than fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride itself can strengthen enamel and help remove stains. If you want your teeth to be white and bright when you smile, you must choose this toothpaste. Although some scientists are worried about the effects of fluoride on the body, there is no evidence that fluoride toothpaste is harmful to the body. Although enamel is irreplaceable, fluoride helps to strengthen fragile enamel. Although the enamel has not fully recovered, it will make the teeth whiter.
If your teeth are sensitive, choose fluoride toothpaste specially designed for sensitive teeth.
As for the taste, style and texture of toothpaste, it all depends on personal preference. As long as toothpaste contains fluoride, these aspects will not affect its tooth cleaning effect.
There is not much evidence that whitening toothpaste is particularly effective. There is nothing wrong with using such a product, but don't be disappointed if you can't see the effect.
3. Floss your teeth at least once a day 1 time to keep your teeth clean. Take a piece of dental floss 30 to 46 centimeters long. Wrap it around your teeth, gently slide it back and forth, and move it up and down along your teeth. Keep this action for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat the same steps for each tooth. Floss your teeth at least/kloc-0 times a day to prevent food and dental plaque from accumulating between your teeth, otherwise it will corrode your enamel. Many people think that dental floss is not essential, but it is not. Flossing is very important if you want to protect your teeth and make them bright and white.
If your gums bleed when you floss, it means your gums are inflamed. Fundamentally speaking, this is a gum disease, but if you floss and brush your teeth frequently, this symptom will disappear by itself. If you bleed every time you floss, you'd better go to the dentist and ask them to check your gums.
Rinse your mouth with mouthwash before and after brushing your teeth. Use mouthwash twice every time you brush your teeth. Before brushing your teeth, rinse your mouth with mouthwash to remove all food residues. Rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth, rinse off the toothpaste and keep your breath fresh. There are two kinds of mouthwashes: beauty and medicine. Beauty mouthwash contains hydrogen peroxide, which helps to whiten teeth, but there is not much evidence to prove this effect. Medicinal mouthwash is used to suppress bad breath. You can choose one of them.
Using mouthwash can help keep teeth healthy and clean, but it can't replace brushing or flossing.
If your mouth dries easily, using mouthwash may relieve the symptoms.
Method 2: Whitening teeth
1, buy whitening toothpaste and clean teeth. Although it can't be done overnight, whitening toothpaste can really remove yellow tooth stains. Without going to the dentist, a few whitening patches can lighten the color of teeth. It should be noted that if your teeth have been restored, you can no longer use whitening toothpaste, otherwise it will destroy the restoration effect. The whitening effect of toothpaste has no effect on the restoration site, so it will make the crown or implant more obvious.
Dental experts seem to have reached an understanding of whitening toothpaste, and they generally recommend Crest's whitening toothpaste as the safest and most effective.
2. When using toothpaste, stick them on your teeth for 5 to 45 minutes. Remember to brush your teeth before putting on the plaster. Then tear off the tape behind the first plaster and stick it along the gum line. Press the plaster to make it close to the root and wrap the inside of the tooth. Apply the second piece to the lower teeth in the same way. How long it should be posted should be based on the instructions on the box. Generally, it takes 5 to 45 minutes to apply whitening toothpaste, but the specific time depends on their brand and model.
Some brands of whitening stickers need to be reapplied once a day, up to a week.
3. Don't use homemade raw materials as teeth whitening tools. With a little research, you will find a variety of tooth whitening methods, including baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, turmeric or coconut oil. Don't use this method. Although some methods can really whiten teeth, they can also hurt gums or cause enamel wear. Please consult a dentist before using these whitening drugs. Any method related to citrus fruits will erode natural enamel, and over time, teeth will become more and more fragile. Many people will use strawberries to whiten their teeth, but it has no effect.
Hydrogen peroxide can irritate gums and damage roots. Dentists do use hydrogen peroxide for whitening treatment, but it has strict requirements on concentration and formula, and you can't do it at home.
Ginger root may be harmless, but there is little evidence that it has whitening effect on teeth.
There is no evidence that coconut oil or oil extract has any effect on the whiteness of teeth.
Method 3: Prevent the formation of dental stains.
1, no matter what you drink, use a straw to protect natural enamel. Yes, even hot coffee or tea, you must drink it through a straw. This may make you feel silly, but it is very helpful to protect and clean your teeth. Using straws can prevent teeth from getting liquid, thus protecting enamel. Water is an exception. Water itself contains a small amount of fluoride beneficial to teeth.
2. Reduce the intake of coffee, red wine and citrus fruits to prevent the formation of dental stains. Anything that will leave stains on the carpet will lead to tooth stains, so try to reduce the intake of coffee and red wine. Any food based on citrus fruits is also harmful to teeth, because excessive intake of citric acid will erode enamel. Next time you want to cool off in hot summer, replace lemon juice with ice water. You can dilute coffee with cream or milk to reduce the chance of tooth stains. For similar reasons, drinking rose wine or white wine instead of red wine will also help.
Soy sauce, curry and ketchup can also cause tooth stains. There is nothing wrong with moderate intake, but you may have to rinse your mouth after eating food containing the above ingredients.
3. Chew sugar-free gum after eating for 20 minutes. Sugar-free chewing gum helps to stimulate saliva secretion, thus washing away food residues stuffed between teeth. About 20 minutes after a meal, food scraps stuffed in your teeth may still be inside. Have a piece of sugar-free gum and chew it for a few minutes. This will help clean your mouth and prevent any food you eat from damaging your teeth. If you chew sugary gum, the sugar in it will wear away the enamel, resulting in further exposure of the yellow dentin below.
If you smoke a lot, you'd better give up smoking. Long-term smoking will lead to the formation of dental stains, and teeth will turn yellow or brown over time. Smoking will also greatly increase the prevalence of lung cancer and oral cancer, so if you smoke regularly, please consult your doctor to find out how to quit smoking. Prescription drugs, nicotine patches, nicotine gum or other feasible methods can be used. It's hard to quit smoking, but it's worth it if you want to restore your confident smile.
Method 4: Find a dentist.
1. See a dentist every 6 months and clean your teeth regularly. Go to the dentist regularly, at least twice a year, and clean your teeth. It is irreplaceable for professionals to clean their teeth thoroughly, and dentists can find problems before they become serious. When cleaning teeth, dentists or oral therapists will physically remove all dental plaque, tartar and food residues. Then, they will polish their teeth and remove all stains. This process is painless and irreplaceable, so you must go to the dentist as planned.
2. Consult your dentist to see if you can do whitening treatment. Next time you clean your teeth, consult a dentist for whitening treatment. The dentist will use a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and other whitening agents according to the condition of your teeth to remove deep tooth stains and make your teeth smooth. They may also provide you with a tooth protector that matches your teeth and prescribe a whitening gel for you to do whitening treatment at home. After a few times, the color of the teeth will become lighter. This is definitely more effective than using whitening toothpaste yourself, because dentists can monitor the treatment process and make adjustments according to your teeth.
However, few medical insurance can reimburse the cost of whitening treatment because it belongs to the category of beauty.
3. If you grind your teeth at night, customize a pair of tooth protectors. If your enamel is worn by grinding your teeth at night, you can ask a dentist to make a tooth protector for you. They will make an impression of your teeth and then customize a tooth protector to prevent your teeth from being damaged when you sleep. Wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth when you sleep. Wearing mouthguards at night will be a bit strange at first. Nevertheless, you should stick to it. You will get used to it in a few days.
4, make an appointment to register, make a crown cover, and solve the problem once and for all. Consult a dentist to see if the porcelain crown is suitable for you. This is the best way to solve the problem of yellow teeth and restore your bright smile, but it is expensive. When making crowns, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth and customize a braces for them. Then, they glued the crown to the enamel and covered the teeth permanently with a shiny white ceramic. It costs 1000 to tens of thousands of yuan to make a crown cover for a tooth, depending on the materials and dentists you choose.
It is suggested that besides whitening tooth paste, the supervision of tooth whitening products is not very strict. If you see products on the shelves of pharmacies that claim to whiten teeth, don't believe them easily.
