How to keep teeth white and healthy

1. Diet.

In order to keep teeth healthy and white, it is necessary to include some vegetables and fruits in the diet. They will contribute not only to the health of the teeth, but also to the health of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular, nervous, genitourinary and endocrine systems.

Useful foods are those that contain fluorine, calcium, iron, phosphorus, such as dairy products, liver, eggs, fish, nuts, currants, sweet peppers, greens and seafood. Adding such products to your daily diet will strengthen your teeth, provide the body with useful substances and vitamins. Also useful are hard vegetables and fruits that affect the teeth as a “scrub”, for example, carrots, apples, pears, asparagus, cauliflower and broccoli. In order to avoid caries, it is necessary to limit the consumption of products containing sugar, such as cakes, pies, white bread, candies and flour products.

Also, you should stop smoking and drink coffee less often, these habits have a bad effect on the condition and appearance of your teeth, because they cause an unpleasant yellow plaque to appear on your teeth.

2. Brushing teeth.

The most important component of dental health is regular brushing (at least 2 times a day). Everyone knows this since childhood, but few follow this rule, many skip brushing their teeth in the evening. But in fact, evening tooth brushing is the most important, it prevents the appearance of caries. You need to brush your teeth for at least 2-3 minutes. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth after every meal.

You need to brush your teeth with short and soft movements, in no case should you press hard on the gums, this can lead to bleeding and increased sensitivity of the teeth in the future. Brush your teeth correctly with vertical movements from top to bottom, so that plaque does not get into the gums and does not get stuck between the teeth. It is necessary to brush the molars, fillings and crowns most thoroughly. Some people advise to get rid of the yellowness of the teeth by cleaning them with baking soda, but it is better to contact a dentist who will do it professionally, take into account all the nuances and give recommendations. So, for example, it is better for children to use special toothpastes that will help keep their teeth healthy, such as Cheerio Gel. Cheerio Gel containing the active ingredient sodium monofluorophosphate is a medicated fluoride oral gel. The gel has a very palatable flavor and is widely accepted by children. The toothpaste is used to remove plaque, protect tooth enamel from attack by bacteria that cause dental cavities and remineralize the areas of the tooth that have been attacked by acids from bacteria.

3. Treat your teeth on time.

So that you do not have complications and do not need a large number of visits to the dentist, make an appointment with the dentist as soon as you have a toothache. To reduce pain while waiting for your dental appointment, take pain relievers such as Brufen Retard.
