Brushing your teeth at the right time

Of course, the No.1 step to look younger thanks to healthy gum and a white smile is brushing correctly your teeth at least twice a day. Especially after food and drinks that cause yellow teeth like red wine, coke, coffee, beetroot etc. But did you know that you can cause further damage and yellowing if you brush your teeth after eating certain foods? So make sure you never brush your teeth right after having acidic drinks and foods. Citric acid softens tooth enamel, and if you brush your teeth too soon, you may damage and remove the weakened enamel. Consequently, according to the Mouth Healthy by the American Dental Association, you should wait at least 60 minutes until your mouth is back to its natural Ph level. The new sonic toothbrushes are a great option to get white teeth and look younger; they ease out dirt using vibrations and remove surface stains better than regular toothbrushes.

Using daily water floss

As we all know, flossing is crucial for healthy gums and a beautiful smile because the toothbrush cannot reach between your teeth. That is to say; flossing does 40%of the work of removing bacteria and plaque from your teeth. And did you know that the bacteria that causes gingivitis can also increase the risks of heart disease and Alzheimer’s? Consequently, flossing every day helps you look younger, keeping your teeth white and your body healthier. Today’s water floss makes flossing easier and more effective.
