Caring for your teeth
Your teeth do more than help you to chew and speak clearly. They can also affect the appearance of your face and smile. Because of this it is important that you take good care of your teeth to prevent tooth decay, gum disease and dental erosion.
Tooth Decay
Even if you brush your teeth twice a day, soon after you have finished brushing, plaque begins to appear on your teeth.
This layer of bacteria essentially feeds on anything sugary you eat to produce energy. However, as your plaque is producing this energy it is also producing acid that gently softens and dissolves the hard enamel on your teeth which over time can lead to tooth decay and tooth discolouration.
Gum Disease
Caused by an inflammation of your gums which can damage the bone that anchors your teeth to your jaw; gum disease affects 50% of adults and is usually triggered by plaque not being removed properly from your teeth.
Dental Erosion
Dental erosion is commonly caused by a loss of enamel and dentin on your teeth. Dissolved by the acid attacking the surface of your teeth, unlike tooth decay these acids are not created by bacteria but usually enter your system through fruit juices and fizzy drinks.
How can I protect my teeth?
Maintaining good dental hygiene is key to fighting off tooth decay, dental erosion and ultimately teeth discolouration.
By brushing your teeth at least twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste, and paying attention to your gumline and the spaces between your teeth, you can prevent a build up of plaque and acid.
Similarly by controlling the amount of sugar in your diet, using a mouthwash and reducing the amount of alcohol/cigarettes you have, you can naturally help to keep your teeth looking white.
However, if you are looking for more immediate results for reversing the effects of tooth decay and discolouration, the support of a FDA approved tooth whitening gel can help.
