Tips & Tricks voor een stralend gebit, dag na dag

Beautiful and well cared for teeth are your best business card! That is why oral hygiene is so important. It will prevent plaque, the most frequent cause of problems in your mouth. Just think of tooth decay (caries), inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and periodontal problems (periodontitis).

Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day for 3 minutes: preferably in the morning after breakfast and at night before going to bed.
Avoid consuming sour drinks or sweets in the first hour after brushing. They can lead to dental erosion.

For beautiful white teeth try to avoid the following bad influences: cigarettes, red wine, coffee, tea, red dressings (e.g. ketchup) ... These are real white-killers which leave colourants on your enamel and gradually the accumulated discoloration makes your teeth lose their white colour.
Does this mean you cannot drink coffee at all anymore? No!

Fortunately there is the GlamSmile Whitening Toothpaste. It cleans your enamel and removes the daily discoloration!

Mouthwash

Use mouthwash. It has an antibacterial action and protects against inflammation of the gums and plaque. It also helps avoid bad breath.

Caring for your gums

Take good care of your gums when brushing your teeth. Massage the gums softly by positioning your brush in such a manner that the hairs can reach in between the tooth and the gum. It will keep your gums healthy and prevent inflammations.

Flossing

Floss daily. You do not reach all the hidden corners with your toothbrush. Floss gets you into the interdental spaces. For instructions on how to use floss.
