You might be a bombshell like Salma Hayek but one look at rotting or discoloured teeth and people will run in the other direction yelling, “Freddy Kruegar on the loose!”
So how do you keep those yummy treats from spoiling your teeth? The answer is simple: Don’t eat them. However, unless you are a monk of some sort, there is no way that’s possible! Tempo understands your dilemma (actually, most of us are in the same boat as you). So here are few tips on side-stepping the problem:
5 Cheap Tricks to Avoid Teeth Staining
·Use a straw to drink cold drinks and other beverages (those which will not raise eyebrows on use of a straw, for example: if you drink green tea through a straw we will be thoroughly displeased). This way the liquid bypasses your teeth, lessening surface staining.
· Drink plenty of water after eating foods that stain, typically those foods with alot of artificial colouring in them.
· Mommy was right! Brush your teeth twice a day, everyday. Period.
· Schedule regular teeth cleaning sessions with your dentist. Experts say that professional whitening can last a lifetime if you watch what you eat and drink.
· Deeply coloured foods are to be avoided while whitening and two days after the treatment. Some major teeth staining culprits to watch out for are (hold your breath): soft drinks, red wine, smoking, sports drinks, blueberries, coffee and tea.
