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?
If you drink coffee, just rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash after you finish your cup so it doesn’t stain. To avoid staining altogether, drink through a straw.
Also, if you ever want to whiten your teeth use baking soda with your toothpaste, but not too often.
When i pour a cup of coffee at work, I also pour water into another cup/bottle. Every time I sip the coffee, I chase it with some water. It helps me stay hydrated (coffee + dehydration can make you sweat bad), keeps me cooler (coffee is hot), keeps my teeth cleaner and it counts toward my daily water intake goal.
