I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my teeth whiter and I think that when the person has wonderful white teeth, their smile is even more brilliant. After spending a lot of time looking for the best tips for whiter teeth, these six are what I’ve found and tried.
They work, I can surely say, because I get so many compliments on my smile! Take a look at some amazing tips for whiter teeth and more beautiful smile!
1. Practice good oral hygiene every day
Practicing good dental hygiene every single day is the most important tip to follow. You can’t expect to have a brilliant smile if you don’t take care of your teeth every day.
Be sure to brush your teeth 2 or even 3 times a day, floss every day and use a cleansing rinse. Also, make sure you visit your dentist on a regular basis.
2. Brush your teeth with whitening toothpaste
It actually does matter what kind of toothpaste you use. Don’t use toothpaste that does not measure up to standard in caring for the teeth and preventing tooth decay.
You have plenty of options to choose from. But it’s better to opt for whitening toothpaste or formulas with all-natural ingredients, if you want to have whiter and healthier teeth.
3. Opt for sugarless gum
Yes, chewing sugar-free gum can also help you to have whiter teeth and more beautiful smile. It works by increasing the production of saliva. The extra saliva in your mouth washes off the beverages and foods left on the teeth.
Keep a pack of sugarless gum in your purse and in your desk at work as well. This is one of the tastiest and easiest ways to make your teeth whiter.

4. Avoid eating foods that stain your teeth
Avoiding eating foods that stain your teeth is extremely helpful in keeping your teeth amazingly white. Try to avoid cola, coffee and tea. When it comes to white teeth red wine is a big no-no as well.
If you’re going to have red wine, be sure to pair it with cheese. It has been proven cheese helps prevent stains so a glass of red wine won’t do as much damage if you drink it with some cheese.
5. Wear a blue-based lipstick
A lipstick can also make a huge difference in how white the teeth appear. Avoid wearing lipstick with an orange base, opt for a blue based lipstick instead.
Any lipstick with a blue tint in it will make your teeth look incredibly white. Do a little research online if you don’t know how a blue based lipstick looks like.
