Follow these guidelines and you will not regret it
Achieving the goal of having whiter teeth has a lot to do with the habits and diet we consume. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys advises, first of all, to definitely avoid the consumption of tobacco and wine. It is also advisable to limit the intake of some foods. She mentions, for example, coffee, crackers, cough drops and carbonated drinks, such as soda.
It is also advisable to limit the consumption of some fruits such as grapefruit, lime and lemon. Tea also poses a threat to the whiteness of your teeth. For this reason, Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys advises, in the case of drinks, to use a straw. Another relevant recommendation in the case of drinks that stain, is to drink water after consuming them. In addition to hydrating, water will help rinse away any dark residue left between your teeth.
Brushing also plays an essential role in achieving whiter teeth. When consuming drinks or foods that stain, it is necessary to brush afterwards. In the case of acidic drinks such as coffee, it is advisable to wait at least 30 minutes to do so. If done before, there is a risk of distributing residual acidity throughout the oral cavity.
Alert! Not only whiteness counts
Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys warns that pristine white teeth do not always represent absolute health. Bright-looking teeth can also hide cavities or infections in the same way as stained teeth. Therefore, this specialist’s recommendation is that even with white teeth, it is important to go to the dentist regularly.
Preventive care is as important as a good and timely procedure for oral health. It serves to detect incipient problems that over time may compromise the integrity of the teeth. Additionally, these occasions are perfect to undergo deep cleaning procedures as part of good oral health habits.
