So what can you do to keep your teeth glowing white? Here are some easy to
follow tips:
Avoid Foods That Stain Teeth —
Foods with lots of pigment such as soysauce, balsamic vinegar, most varieties of berries, cherries, and curry will stain teeth.
If these cannot be completely avoided, it is recommended to brush your teeth as
soon as possible after eating these foods.
Drink Water —
You can help prevent stains to your teeth by swishing amouthful of water around immediately after eating or drinking a staining beverage.
This also helps to keep breath fresh..
Use a Straw —
Coffee, Red wine, Colas and other dark soft drinks, teas, andcranberry juice can cause staining. Using a straw for these drinks will allow the
staining liquid to bypass the front teeth.
Eat Crunchy Foods —
Celery, apples, and other crunchy foods will removefood particles in your teeth and help to prevent stains. Sticky foods are more likely
to cause staining.
