Well, I'm thirteen, and I have braces. When I didn't have braces, I didn't brush my gums/the very tops of my front teeth. Now the very tops of my front teeth are yellow. I brush them all the time [a few times a day with lots of tooth paste] and I also use whitening mouthwash, but they still won't whiten! How can I get them to be white besides brushing a lot/ODing on mouthwash?
--------------------
I have braces also. You don't want to drastically whiten your teeth because then the parts of your teeth which are covered by the metal things will be a different colour to the rest of your teeth. DON'T brush with lots of toothpaste! don't use more than you need, you only need around a pea size and they sometimes have the amount you need specified on the box. Use a SOFT toothbrush and brush around 2-3 times a day, not drastically more i would say 4x at absoulote most. Brush your teeth for around 3 minutes. I read in a magazine that according to the American Academy of Periodontology, that gum disease, cavities and missing teeth are as good at indicating heart disease as chloesterol levels. So it is very important to look after your teeth. No more than once a week, you GENTLY brush your teeth with a 50/50 mixture of bicarb soda and sea salt. don't SCRUB but be very gentle. if you scrub you will wear away the tooth enamel which will make yellowing of the tooth. also it is very important to floss. do this after every meal, at least once a day. Do not snap the floss on the gum line and use a clean section of floss for every gap you floss. floss around the tooth not straight up & down between teeth. for more infomarion - http://www.natural-homeremedies.com/home… http://www.myhomeremedies.com/topic.cgi?… http://www.safecosmetics.org/ http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/splash.p…
