Dull and Yellow Teeth?

No matter how much i brush and floss my teeth are dull and yellow. Are there any simple home remedies for a better smile?

Dull and Yellow Teeth?
TRY TO AVOID HOT N WARM FOOD. GO TO DENTIST N ASK FOR DENTAL BLEACHING.
Reply:are you bulimic? the acid from the stomach lining yellows and rotts teeth, which is difficult to fix with brushing and flossing.


if not, try crest white strips, whitening toothpaste with peroxide, or if you have the money you can get them professionally whitened. as far as home remedies, put baking soda in your toothpaste. also stay away from dark beverages like coke, coffee, and black tea.
Reply:avoid eating too much sweets because some plagues built up in your teeth and makes your teeth dull.
Reply:Avoid dark colored drinks such as coffee, tea, or sodas. If you must have any of these drinks, then sip through a straw. Also don%26#039;t smoke. These things are the worst for staining your teeth.


But a way to get your teeth whiter, I%26#039;ll go by most expensive to least expensive:


1) Have professional bleaching done at a dental office. There are a couple of different ways to do this. Through in office laser whitening or your dentist can make you customized bleaching trays which you do yourself at home. You leave the trays on for about an hour a day until you achieve the desired result and then maintain it about once or twice a week. Depending on where you live it can be costly. Bleaching runs anywhere from $300 to around $700 depending on what you choose and insurance does not cover any of it b/c it%26#039;s considered cosmetic.


2) Crest White Strips Professional which can only be purchased through a dental office as well. It contains more bleach than the traditional Crest White Strips you buy at the store. In my area, a box sells for $45 for a 30 day supply. The results aren%26#039;t as good as in office bleaching but they are great for the price!


3) Crest White Strips that you can buy at your local store. They run about $25 for a 30 day supply. You won%26#039;t notice a huge difference but possibly a shade lighter. As far as other over the counter bleachin systems, Crest White Strips are the best.


If you want a total make over, you can also get veneers and get the shade you want. But that%26#039;s talking thousands of dollars! I don%26#039;t think you want to go that extreme.


AND whitening toothpastes don%26#039;t really have enough peroxide in to make a difference at all!


Just to let you know, I am a dental assistant so I do know what I%26#039;m talking about! Hope this helps you.
Reply:avoid sweets.eat fruits with vitamin c.


try whitening tooth paste.
Reply:Lemon juice, baking soda or baking powder can also be used for teeth whitening. Rubbing the bark of walnut tree brightens the teeth. Strawberries are natural teeth whiteners, simply rub them directly on your teeth or mash into a paste and apply.More remedies and information regarding your teeth at http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/
