To use it directly on your teeth and whiten them mix a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda with some water to make a paste. Then simply apply it to your teeth. You’ll need to do this every day to see the effects, it’s a gradual process. This is great for your teeth and your gums. Simply add a teaspoon of salt to a cup of boiled water and let it cool. You can then use it in the same way as you would a mouthwash. The salt is a natural antibacterial, killing unfriendly bacteria in your mouth.

Avoid sugary foods. When bacteria in the mouth break down simple sugars, they produce acids that can erode tooth enamel, opening the door to decay. Sugary drinks, including soft drinks and fruit drinks, pose a special threat because people tend to sip them, raising acid levels over a long period of time. Sticky candies are another culprit, because they linger on teeth surfaces.

We believe that one of the most important aspects of dental care is a visit to the hygienist. To enable the highest standards of dental care, the prevention and maintenance of gums is critical. Dental hygiene visits should be as routine for people as exercise or eating healthy food. To keep our mouth and body healthy we should focus on dental hygiene being prevention rather than treatment.Who we are ? Diane Washington and Debbie Proctor are the founders of Mint Dental Hygiene.

White teeths advices. Do you want to have healthy teeth and gums? Here are several advices: Eat More Foods That Contain Malic Acid: Fruits like apples, pears and strawberries are malic acid rich and can actually help with whitening teeth. Eating more of these foods will help naturally whiten teeth. Those are just but a few tips that you can hack when it comes to whitening your teeth at home. However, the best way to whiten your teeth naturally, though it may not be the most convenient, is to simply brush your teeth with an appropriate toothpaste after eating or drinking something. As long as you’re consistent, you will see vast improvements. Tooth-whitening strips will help get rid of tooth stains. These strips are very thin, virtually invisible, and are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. You wear them a few minutes daily for a week or more. Results are visible in just a few days, and last at least a year. The results with strips are not as dramatic as with whitening kits, but the strips are easy to use and pretty much foolproof.

Control the Sippy Cup: A sippy cup can help kids move from a bottle to a glass, but don’t let him drink from it all day long. Using it too much can lead to decay on the back of the front teeth if the drinks are sugary. Babies are born with all their teeth – you can’t see them because they are hidden in the gums. Baby teeth start to break through the gums around 6 months but it is important to start good oral care for infants even before the first tooth comes in. From healthy gums come healthy teeth. Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft washcloth after feeding. This helps remove the bacteria that can cause tooth decay.
