    Basic teeth whitening tips

    Hi,

    Following are few tips which you can do to keep your teeth white:

    Avoid Coffee, smoking, tobacco, or anything that stains

    Brushing 3 times a day, (after every meal) will greatly help you be removing stains before they set in.

    Brush gently, harsh brushing with a lot of pressure will only weaken the surface of your teeth.

    Drink tap water because it has fluoride in it, helps build protective layer on your teeth.

    Some good advice Thomas, but it's important to remember that not all tap water has fluoride in it.

    Any food that would stain a white cloth, will stain teeth ... but many do it easier than others, and some colours are more obvious than others. If you were to not eat food that stains, your diet would be very limited and boring. Instead make sure you pay particular attention to your oral hygiene at least twice a day, and make sure you floss once a day.

    Brushing gently is essential for the health of your teeth and your gums. Also don't brush your teeth for 30 minutes are drinking or eating food with acid in it ... and many foods have acid in them. Instead, drink plenty of water to give your mouth a good rinse.

    Good luck keeping your teeth looking great!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!

    Eat lots of vegetables and fruits and drink milk to further whiten and strengthen your teeth.

    Sixty percent of America's water supply is fluoridated yet there are no studies to prove that ingesting fluoride is beneficial. In fact studies prove quite the opposite. Studies prove that there is more than a 10% increase in cancer rates of people in fluoridated communities, increased bone fractures and it also does a lot of neurological harm. It also concentrates in the hippocampus. Girls in fluoridated communities go through puberty earlier also. In Animal studies, when given to pregnant females their offspring were observed to be hyperactive, when given to an animal after birth the animals behavior became apathetic. I have done a lot of studying on the subject and will not even give my children fluoride toothpaste. I think I used to by the nursery water with added fluoride for my daughter as a baby and the thought makes me sick. Trust me the more you dig into the subject the less you will want to use fluoride (even if it meant your teeth would rot out and that is definitely not going to happen anyways). The original study that got the fluoride ball rolling was done in Michigan, I believe, the study monitored cavities in citizens in two towns, one fluoridated the other not. After the study was over, they announced that the town, that was fluoridated, had a decrease in tooth decay; never mentioning the fact the the non-fluoridated community also had a decrease in tooth decay (only more so)! to find more info about fluoride you will probably need to look outside of any government or company sponsored information. You might also appreciate a lecture by a professor of the name Paul Connet.
