Use a Whitening ToothpasteWhitening toothpaste can help to brighten your smile by polishing away surface stains. They don't contain bleach or peroxide, but it works to remove stains via special abrasives that gently scrub the teeth. Some toothpastes also include chemicals that will help dissolve or break down stains. Some toothpastes may also contain blue covarine, a chemical that adheres to the teeth to create an illusion in which the teeth appear less yellow. Change Your DietDid you know that the foods you eat and beverages you drink on a daily basis may be staining your teeth? Coffee, red wine, and dark-colored berries all have staining properties. Even light-colored sodas can stain because they are highly acidic and can wear away the enamel, exposing the yellowish dentin underneath. By changing up your diet to avoid these foods and drinks, you'll reduce your stains. Stop SmokingSmoking is dangerous for your health in so many reasons, including your mouth. Not only does smoking leave behind yellow or brown stains on the teeth, but it also leads to gum disease. Since smoking restricts blood flow, your gum disease may be in advanced stages before you even notice any symptoms.
