During your \u201cfun in the sun,\u201d you may\u2019ve noticed that your teeth seem dull and yellow. That\u2019s normal \u2013 people can get stains that darken their grins over time. Still, you don\u2019t have to live with your yellowed smile if you don\u2019t want to. Some safe and simple tricks would brighten your grin<\/a>, helping your pearly whites live up to their nickname. Learn about them in this helpful primer on four great ways to get whiter teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Clean Your Teeth at Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For starters, you can make (and keep) your teeth white with good oral hygiene. Looking after your smile\u2019s health should improve its color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, plaque and leftover food don\u2019t just cause cavities and gum disease. They can stain your tooth enamel if they aren\u2019t removed well, making your grin look grimy as a result. The good news is that home oral care solves the problem with twice-daily brushing and once-daily flossing. Using these habits, you can get rid of smile stains and avoid future ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Stain-Causing Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another way to have whiter teeth would be to skip stain-causing foods. Cutting these items out of your diet will make your smile brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue is that some foods and drinks have \u201cstain agents\u201d \u2013 acids and colors known to stain teeth. If you have too many of them, they\u2019ll quickly darken your enamel and make it look unpleasant. So, avoid pigmented stuff like red wine, berries, or coffee; their particles get in the way of a white smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat a Calcium-Rich Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a brighter grin isn\u2019t just about what you can\u2019t eat. You can also reach one by sticking to a calcium-rich diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, calcium is a key mineral that strengthens teeth. Absorbing enough of it will keep the yellow dentin below your enamel from showing up. That being the case, eat plenty of dairy products and other calcium-rich foods; this approach will whiten your smile for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When all else fails, you can always have a dentist brighten your smile. You just need to see them for a professional teeth whitening treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most dentists today offer teeth whitening through in-office treatments and take-home kits. With the in-office method, you\u2019d attend a one-hour dental visit that whitens your smile by six to eight shades. A take-home kit would offer similar results with gel-filled trays worn for two weeks. This second method takes longer but allows more flexibility in treatment time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from those above, other ways to get whiter teeth exist. Find out more about them by talking to your local dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
