Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Have you noticed that your smile has become less bright when looking in the mirror?
And if you suffer from yellowing of the teeth, there are several steps you can take to avoid this dilemma, according to a tweet shared by the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population, on Twitter.
Avoid yellowing of the teeth in these ways:
- Change some of your daily habits, and quit smoking and drinking coffee, for example
- Take care of your teeth by brushing and flossing regularly
- Be sure to visit the dentist every 6 months to clean your teeth in a medical and healthy manner
The method of cleaning the teeth plays a major role in preserving them.
The cleaning process removes the very sticky “plaque” layer, which is a mixture of bacteria, their acids, sticky by-products, and food residue that naturally forms on the teeth immediately following eating, and causes damage to them until it reaches a certain stage that reaches the level of decay.
And spending two minutes to brush the teeth is a good time to remove this layer, and the teeth must be brushed at night, and once more during the day every day.
Remember that an electric toothbrush can be more effective than a manual toothbrush. The small toothbrush head helps reach hard-to-reach areas between teeth.
