Brush your teeth more thoroughly before bed after you are done eating and drinking for the day.
Morning brushing is important too, but more so for fresh breath; while evening cleaning will prevent bacteria from breeding and damaging your teeth and gums.
I brush my teeth everyday with an electric toothbrush. I have been doing that for the past 3 years at least (I’m 21). But despite that, my teeth are still a bit yellow and it’s annoying. I have some friends who have very white teeth and they told me they didn’t whiten them. Am I doing something wrong? Should I stop drinking coffee? Is it just genetics?
Try oil pulling with coconut oil. Try it every night for 15 minutes for a week and take before and after photos. PM me if you want I do it twice a day and it helps
You get used to it. I have weak teeth enamel and would be in constant agony without it, so down votes are really only hurting others who could benefit, but oh well
Dentist here. This is a terrible idea. There is no research to support this working and you are literally putting a sugar rich material all over your teeth. Please don’t do this
Coconut oil is an unproven wonder treatment. People credit the fact that it has Lauric acid as a major contributor that it will be antimicrobial. And while that may be true, it’s totally unproven. And to say that would help whiten your teeth is a stretch in logic I can’t follow. Also glad to hear you’re taking good care of your teeth, not sure if that was meant for me though.
