Maintaining White Teeth
Steps
Foods and Drinks to Avoid- Avoid the following foods. Foods with heavy staining properties such as cherries, berries, curries and sauces, such as soy and balsamic vinegar should be avoided. It is recommended that teeth should be cleaned as soon as possible after ingesting such foods.
- Stay away from these drinks: Drinks such as tea and coffee, red wine, dark soft drinks like cola or cranberry juice are all responsible to some degree for teeth staining. Again brush the teeth after such foods or try using a drinking straw to minimise contact with the teeth.
- Fruit such as apples or celery or raw vegetables are recommended as foods to finish a meal, as sticky foods are more likely to cause decay.
- Drink water after each meal. This helps to prevent teeth staining and is also good for your health.
- Brush teeth after each meal.
- Do not brush too hard.
- Brush in a circular motion.
- Use a soft bristle brush.
- Tooth brushes should regularly be renewed.
- Electric toothbrushes are a good investment.
