9 Tips to Keep White teeth

1. Find the appropriate whitening strips

  They should be approved by the dental  and shouldn't contain chlorine dioxide, which can actually damage your enamel. Whitening strips should be made of polyethylene and you can find them at your local drugstore or even a supermarket. There will be two strips: one for your lower teeth and one for your upper teeth. Each will be lined with a gel that will help the strips adhere to your teeth.

2. Thoroughly brush and floss your teeth

 This will help remove any build-up that will prevent your teeth from being whitened. Flossing your teeth will remove plaque in between your teeth and will ensure that this area is whitened as well. Also be sure to get your gums, too.


3. Study the instructions

  Each package of whitening gel is slightly different, so check out the instructions to see how to apply the strips, how long to leave them on, and how often they should be used. Most strips are used for about half an hour twice daily. Some have to be thrown out after they're used while others will simply dissolve in your mouth.

4. Apply the strips over your teeth

  Apply the strips firmly over your teeth, running your fingers over the strips to help the gel stick to your teeth. Avoid moving your tongue too much or you'll get gel all over your mouth. This won't be harmful, but it can feel a little unpleasant. Leave the strips on your teeth for the given amount of time on the instructions.

5. Rinse your mouth

  Rinse it thoroughly until you have removed the remaining gel from your mouth. Continue using the whitening strips for the amount of time that is recommended in the instructions, and wait to see the results.If you use the right strips correctly, you'll be able to maintain the results for up to four months.

6. Use whitening gel

  Find  gel to use on your teeth and read the instructions to understand the process of using a whitening gel. Then, brush the gel onto your teeth with a small brush, just as you normally would  for at least two minutes. Then, spit out the remaining gel and rinse out your mouth until the gel is gone.Continue using the whitening gel twice a day for fourteen days, or for however long the product is recommended on the instructions. You'll see results in just a few days.

7. Use whitening toothpast

  Whitening toothpastes whiten your teeth by gently removing their surface stains through polishing, chemical chelation, or other processes that do not require bleach. You can find many of these toothpastes over the counter. Use the toothpaste just as you would use any other toothpaste, brushing your teeth for at least two minutes and then rinsing your mouth.

8. Use hydrogen peroxide

  Commercial whitening kits aren't cheap; for a cheaper solution, you might like to consider whitening your teeth at home using hydrogen peroxide for a similar effect. Bleaching teeth with hydrogen peroxide is acknowledged as a safe practice by the dental.  

9. Brush your teeth with a hydrogen peroxide and baking soda paste once a week

 This mixture will help keep your teeth looking white and clean. Here's how you can make it:

- Pour 2 teaspoons (10ml) of hydrogen peroxide into 3 teaspoons (15ml) of baking soda. Mix these together until a paste forms. Play with these measurements until you find a consistency that you like. The paste should be similar in thickness to toothpaste.

-Add a tiny bit of mint toothpaste to your homemade paste to give it a fresh flavor. You can also add a drop of peppermint extract.

-Mix in a dash of salt. The salt will exfoliate your teeth as you brush. However, salt is quite abrasive, so don't use it too often.

-Dollop the paste mixture onto your toothbrush.

-Brush the paste onto your teeth in small, circular motions. Once all teeth are covered, let the mixture sit on your teeth for 2 minutes.

-Rinse the solution off your teeth by swishing with water from the bathroom sink.

-Brush your teeth with toothpaste to rid your mouth of any remnants of the hydrogen peroxide mixture.
