Having stained teeth can be incredibly annoying and frustrating.
While many people have teeth problems, usually yellow or discolored
teeth, teeth stains really stick out and are much more noticeable, and
can be a real detriment to your confidence and self image.
There
are many ways to remove stains from teeth, some more successful than
others, depending on how badly your teeth are stained. Luckily, no
matter how bad your teeth stains are, there's a method or product out
there that can help you. Read on and we'll go over some of the options.
1. Natural or Home Methods
These
methods are a great way to get rid of stains on teeth for cheap or even
free. Most are fairly gentle and not very strong, so these methods
would suit people with light stains, such as the typical darkness
between the front teeth, or small patches of yellow or brown on an
individual tooth.
Some natural methods you can try include
strawberries, which contain an enzyme that naturally whitens teeth. You
can simply ad more strawberries to your diet, and rub the fruit on the
stained areas while you eat, or your can mash them (remove the seeds if
possible) and brush with them just like normal toothpaste. Remember to
brush your teeth with normal toothpaste afterwards, as strawberries do
contain a little sugar, and the seeds can also be abrasive if you didn't
remove them.
Another quick natural fix is to add baking soda to
your toothpaste. This really helps the penetrating power of the mixture,
letting it get deep into the enamel and tackle stains much more
effectively.
2. Whitening Toothpastes
These
toothpastes are pre formulated with whitening ingredients, some of which
include peroxide, sodium bicarbonate, boosted fluoride, abrasive beads,
and a number of other ingredients. These toothpastes may contain one or
a mixture of the above ingredients. They are a bit more expensive than
regular toothpaste, and some may have to be purchased through your
dentist, but they can be very effective at helping to remove stains from
teeth.
These toothpastes may be what you are looking for if you have larger or multiple teeth stains.
3. Teeth Whitening Treatments
If
you have larger teeth stains, lots of stains and discoloration, or you
just want the most effective solution in the shortest amount of time,
your best bet is to investing in a teeth whitening treatment. These kits
can be bought online, in the supermarket or from your dentist.
The
first advice is to forget the supermarket variety. They are weak, take a
long time to show results, and you can get better results with
whitening toothpaste for much cheaper. The best ones come from your
dentist (and cost a lot!) or, you can buy the same dentist grade kits
online for much cheaper, and this is the option most people go for.
These
kits can be a whitening tray system, where a gel is applied to a teeth
tray, which is then fitted over the teeth and worn for a period of a few
hours, or a scrub and swab system, where a gel is applied to the teeth
with a brush or swab in a similar manner to brushing.
Both of
these methods have comparable results, so get searching and find the one
that is more convenient for you and your wallet. The whitening kits
available online today are very affordable, and offer a whitening that
rivals the very expensive dental treatment, and they are super effective
at removing teeth stains.
