How to Improve Dental Health and Whiten Teeth

By Shaun P. Reily

If you drink a lot of carbonated beverages or coffee, or are a smoker, you've probably seen a decline in the condition of your teeth over the years. Particularly a loss of their original radiance.

Luckily there are many natural and procedural solutions available to allow you to repair the damage done and regain your naturally white teeth.

To get whiter teeth, first thing you should do is be easy on your caffeine and nicotine fix. They are the main reasons for your dull teeth. Also, you need to avoid the other known causes of dull teeth, such as acidic substances like soda and strawberries. Establish continuous flow of saliva by drinking lots of water.

Drinking milk will give your teeth their needed calcium, making them strong and healthy. Regularly brush your teeth with fluoride strengthened toothpaste after each meal to remove plaque build-up and prevent tartar problems. Eat lots of fruits that contain vitamin C, such as oranges and other citrus treats. Vitamin C is a natural bleaching agent.

Also very important is that you make flossing a daily ritual if it is not already. Untold damage is done to your teeth by any food left between them that is allowed to decay.

If you go the route of professional dentist teeth restoration you will have a couple procedures to choose from. With one procedure your teeth are restored to a dazzling white by first removing a tiny portion of the natural protective layer around all of your teeth. The natural coating of your teeth is then replaced with an artificial layer of white resin which creates a very strong and seamless bond.

The other method available from your dentist is known as veneer bonding. In this method instead of replacing the natural coating with resin, the teeth are simply covered over completely with porcelain implants. These sheets of porcelain provide perfectly white teeth and a picture-perfect smile. They are also durable enough to last for up to five years which justifies the enormous price difference.

Regardless of your choice of teeth whitening solution, your main goal should be improving your overall health with the diet changes discussed above. The dentist whitening options will provide immediate results, but your health will provide lasting ones.
