Teeth Whitening With Natural Foods
July 24, 2008
Teeth whitening powders, pastes and gels are available in every supermarket shelf. But do they really work? Some do, but they are chemically processed. They get absorbed easily with the saliva and can have side effects. Most teeth whiteners have bleach that cause detrimental havoc to the liver and digestive track. But still many indulge in them because they want a pearly white smile.
Teeth whitening can also be achieved with natural foods. These foods also enrich the body with essential nutrients and provide wellness. Their process is comparatively slower than the harsh chemicals but it is safe and healthy.
How To Enhance Teeth Whitening With Natural Foods
Drink Green Tea-This really works against plaque. Its antioxidants wash the plaque away that stick to the teeth thus reducing the chances of developing cavities and gum diseases.
Use Straw-Drinking juices containing citric acid can erode tooth enamel. But when a straw is used, the contact with teeth is minimal.
Vitamin C-Diet lacking in Vitamin C can affect the gums. Research confirms that those who lack vitamin C in their diet, 25% of them are likely to suffer from dental problems.
Calcium Strengthens-Diet rich in milk and milk products like cheese, yogurt strengthens teeth. It provides power to the jaw’s alveolar bone.
Apart from diet, regular maintenance of teeth and gums are needed. Avoid smoking, drinking colas, tea and coffee too much which stains teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, gargling is recommended. Visit your dentist periodically so he can check your teeth and keep you free from cavities and tooth decay.
Naturally look teeth are more attractive than bleached ones. These fade away and need to be redone every few months. Such chemicals not only affect the enamel but they are absorbed directly in the body. Their effects may not be noticeable instantly but over a period of time, they will impair the liver, kidneys and gall bladder.
The whiteness of your teeth is in your mind.
