HEALTHY LIVING TIPS

Step right up ladies and gentlemen; get your winning teeth whitener ticket!  I thought I had heard just about everything until I saw an ad for a tooth makeover sweepstakes.  You got it, lotto for yellow teeth.  I did not go to the site, but the caption spoke a thousand, or should I say 50,000 words.  That was the amount the tooth makeover was valued.

Why does someone even have yellow teeth? Without much thinking, I can think of several reasons why white teeth are not in the cards for everyone.  Let us start with food; stains from blueberries, blackberries, beets, gelatin, food coloring, and so forth that cause tooth stain.  Then we have beverages like coffee, tea, carbonated beverages, juices and more that prevent our teeth from being their whitest.  Next let us consider medicines, it is a well knows fact that tetracycline can cause yellow teeth, but not everyone does not know that the topical applications of fluoride can cause tooth stain.  When topical fluoride is applied unevenly this can result in white patches on the tooth surface, this can trap foods and cause a stain. White patches on the tooth surface can also be caused by ingesting too much fluoride.    Damaging the enamel surface can be the culprit for yellow teeth/.  Sometimes a person brushes so often with such harsh teeth whiteners, that we can actually damage the protective surface of the tooth.  The list for causes of less than white teeth and yellow teeth is indeed a long list.  Some people are just plain born with yellow teeth.

You have yellow teeth.  Does that mean you need a dentist to give you a complete makeover for whiter teeth?  Should you damage the surface of the enamel enough and develop dental cavities, and then the dentist might just have to give you a makeover.  Whiter teeth can be achieved in various ways.  Your dental professional could bleach, or apply whiteners.  Different artificial coverings can be applied to give you whiter teeth and fillings replaced called dental veneers.

Your dental professional can actually give you a chart for the shade of whites you want your teeth.  They can polish, buff, paint, you name it, and they can take numerous measures to make your teeth white.  Of course, yellow teeth regardless of the reason, are only going to get just so white.  Your dentist will first determine the cause why your teeth are not their whitest.  Your dentist will correct serious issues such as cavities, point out trauma, replace metal fillings, or other factors that concern your oral hygiene health.  Then the dentist can give you the white teeth you desire for a few hundred dollars and some cosmetics.

To be rid of yellow teeth, keep your mouth clean. Rinse after eating especially if you will not be able to brush.  See your dentist regularly for dental checkups and cleaning.  Avoid food that stains.  Avoid smoking.  Avoid using every new fad tooth whitener and yellow remedy that comes along.  Trust good sense and listen to your dentist.  Do not use your mouth as a chamber for a chemical experiment.  If your teeth still are not as white as you hope, seek first professional advice.  Let your dentist be your advisor to whiter teeth.  Let your dentist tackle your yellow teeth and give your mouth a makeover you deserve.  Take care of your teeth, it is true you can get another set, but dentures do not stay white either without proper care.  Once you decide what shade of white you want your teeth, then the dentist can apply the proper compound to whiten your yellow teeth. 

Yellow teeth bothering you, do you want whiter teeth? Then get your dental makeover.

SELF TEETH WHITENING

Teeth whitening does not have to be expensive. There are a lot of teeth whitening products out there that cost lesser than regular toothpaste by using common household items like oranges and baking soda. And with the constant rising of the prices commodities, it is no wonder that many people choose home-made remedies to achieve teeth whitening than opt for professional help.

Here are some of the most effective teeth whitening tips you can do in the comforts of your own home. Some are regular kitchen items while others are over-the-counter teeth whitening products you can buy at your local pharmacy or online.

1. Baking soda is the most common and the most inexpensive of all home teeth whiteners. Just take a drop of baking soda, add water to make it pasty, then brush it all over your teeth using your toothbrush or your finger. Let is stay for a couple of minutes after brushing, then gargle thoroughly to rinse out. If you accidentally swallow this home-made teeth whitening paste, it is okay as it is just baking soda. The only downside of this teeth whitener is that not a lot of people can tolerate the taste of pure baking soda.

2. If you are not a fan of pure baking soda, then try using lemon and salt as a teeth whitening product. Mix one part of lemon with an equal part of salt, making a paste-like solution. Then rub this all over your “used to be” pearly whites once a day before bedtime.

3. Orange peel is also a home teeth whitener. Use the pulpy, white side of an orange peel to rub over your stained yellow teeth to achieve a polished shine after two weeks. You can do this two to three times a day as an effective teeth whitener, but be careful as it may cause sensitivity to some.

4. A very old method of teeth whitening is by using bay leaves that can be bought in the local market. Crush dried bay leaves then mix it with an equal part of crushed and dried orange peel. You can add water to make a paste or leave it in its dry, powdery form. Just rub this powder or paste on your teeth and use it as a teeth whitener.

5. Gobble on strawberries. You can actually rub strawberries on your teeth to achieve a teeth whitening effect. This was popularized by one talk show, but just as a follow-up, you may want to brush your teeth afterward because of strawberries’ sugar content.

6. Use apple cider vinegar as mouthwash as teeth whitener. Just swish it around your mouth for a couple of minutes, or you can mix it with a teaspoon of baking soda and a dash of salt to make a teeth whitening paste you can apply on your teeth. This is an effective teeth whitener that combines three teeth whitening agents (vinegar, baking soda and salt) all together to create one potent mix.

7. If home-made teeth whitening remedies do not seem to work for you lackluster and yellowish teeth, your may want to buy-over-the counter teeth whitening products like take-home teeth whitening sprays, teeth whitening gels, or toothpaste whiteners. One example of this take-home teeth whitening product is the 36% Plasma Laser Bluelight Teeth Whitening Kit that some claim to achieve results after the first use. It is relatively cheaper than one visit to the dentist; and you can use this teeth whitener over and over once you have bought the product, so the teeth whitening effects can compound over the weeks you use it.
