According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, tooth whitening is today’s premier beauty service and its popularity continues to soar. Outside the dentist’s office, it is very popular.

Teeth whitening is a multi-billion dollar industry. But unfortunately, many tooth whitening treatments contain irritating chemicals. It makes teeth feel sensitive for long periods of time. Teeth whitening has become so popular that everyone seems to be doing this. If you want to get a bright and white smile, tooth whitening may be exactly what you are looking for. Teeth whitening is not only effective, but it can also completely change your smile and improve your self-confidence.

Why do the teeth turn yellow? What are the reasons?

The teeth become less white (yellow or brown) due to aging, age, thinning of the enamel, erosion of the tooth surface, poor diet, drinking coffee/tea, smoking and dry mouth.

Some reasons include:

– Drink coffee, tea or colored drinks

– smoking

– Thinning of enamel due to aging

– Eat a bad diet. This includes eating a lot of acidic processed foods, including soft drinks/soda, sweets or fruits with more acid.

– Suffering from dry mouth (lack of saliva)

– Use of medicines

– Ingestion of excess fluoride

– genetic factors

Routine products endanger the dangers of teeth：

Studies have shown that tooth whitening products can damage teeth by removing too much enamel. Conventional teeth whitening strips and other whitening products contain a gel. It having the active ingredient carbamide peroxide which decomposes into hydrogen peroxide and a waste product known as urea. The continued application of whitening strips has been shown to cause enamel erosion over time. And also promote tooth sensitivity, especially when eating hot and cold liquids or acidic foods.

You can naturally whiten your teeth while protecting your enamel. Including apple cider vinegar, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, coconut oil pulls, eating a healthy diet, brushing, flossing, and activated carbon. Here are a few natural ways to whiten:

9 Tips natural whitening method:

1. Try Oil Pulling

It can reduce the bacteria in the mouth, and the effect of whitening is very small. Can be used consistently. (trust source 1)

2. Brush With Baking Soda

Baking soda is a mild abrasive that exhibits an alkaline state and prevents bacterial growth. Neutralizes the acid in the mouth. (trust source 2)

3. Brush After Drinking or Eating

Brush your teeth for half an hour after a meal and remove any stains from your teeth.

4. Use Apple Cider Vinegar

Contains acetic acid, has a bactericidal effect, has a certain bleaching effect on teeth, but can soften teeth. (trust source 3) 

5. Use Fruits, Vegetables and Other Healthy Foods

Good for teeth, can wipe off stains on the tooth surface

6. Prevent Tooth Stains Before They Happen/Making dietary changes

As you get older, you have different eating habits, such as drinking regular colored drinks, coffee, and so on. Avoid direct contact of the teeth with colored drinks, such as using a straw. Minimize sugar intake and increase the likelihood of bacteria. (trust source 4) (trust source 5)

After eating some food or drink, brush your teeth soon. Drink as much calcium as possible, such as milk, cheese, etc. Calcium helps the teeth enamel erosion. (trust source 6)

Brush your teeth at least twice a day

7. Don’t Underestimate the Value of Brushing and Flossing

Over time, it is largely a result of the accumulation of residual food on the teeth or between the teeth. Regular tooth cleaning or flossing can also help the teeth whitening.

8. Activated charcoal

But there is no scientific evidence to whiten the teeth.

9. Use Hydrogen Peroxide with teeth whitening light (whitening toothpaste also contains hydrogen peroxide)

Having healthy teeth is very important in our culture today. So more and more people use white strips and whitening creams as part of home oral care or turn to professional office whitening treatments. Your teeth are the first thing people notice; they are a sign of health and confidence. When giving a first impression, most people worry about aging, bending or discolored teeth, which may send a signal that you don’t really care about yourself. Who doesn’t want to have a beautiful smile on white, sparkling teeth? But what is the best way to whiten your teeth?

Hydrogen peroxide is a natural bleach that kills bacteria in the mouth. (trusted Source 7)

In fact, hydrogen peroxide has been used for many years to disinfect wounds because it has the ability to kill bacteria.

This is the most direct and easiest way. Has been popular in various markets.

The peroxide component actually bleaches the enamel and makes the teeth whiter. The intensity of the whitening treatment generally depends on the strength of the peroxide contained in the whitened product. If it can be used with cold light, the effect will be more significant.

What I need to emphasize here is that the wavelength of the cold light will also affect the whitening effect. In this regard, I will introduce in detail in the next article.

A study found that toothpaste containing baking soda and 1% hydrogen peroxide caused a marked whitening of the teeth. (trusted Source 8)

Then we have another way to use a whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide with teeth whitening light or teeth whitening trays. It combines to make it simpler and faster. For more information, please contact sales@mfcdental.com

Some people, no matter how many times they brush their teeth and whiten their teeth. Can get tooth stains due to habits such as coffee or tea and/or smoking. Usually, yellow or brown teeth may also point to a bigger problem: unhealthy gums, thinning enamel, and poor overall dental hygiene. Whitening teeth alone does not help protect teeth or gums from diseases such as cavities or gingivitis.

“Some people will never get enough results.” Because they have been excessively bleached, the tissue is damaged. You can get rid of some enamel and your teeth will become translucent and unnatural. They will turn blue or blue-gray. So you need to match a specific cold light and a natural gel, which is the most direct and effective, and you have a healthy and beautiful tooth.
