How to get whiter teeth...

There are a number of things you can do to make your teeth whiter.

To begin with, you should do the regular brushing and flossing procedure.

Get rid of tobacco chewing habit. It can lead to oral cancer as well.

Control the amount of coffee or tea you drink.

Try to use porcelain crowns to hide discolored teeth.

Increase the frequency of visiting the dentist for regular cleanup. Visit every three months instead of six.

Bleaching your teeth is a another good option to consider.

How to Get Rid of Plaque

Plaque is made up of invisible masses of harmful germs that live in the mouth and stick to the teeth.

• Some types of plaque cause tooth decay
• Other types of plaque cause gum disease

bleeding gums can be the first signs of gum disease.

If gum disease is not treated, the tissues holding the teeth in place are destroyed and the teeth are eventually lost.

Dental plaque is difficult to see unless it’s stained.

You can stain plaque by chewing red “disclosing tablets,” found at grocery stores and drug stores, or by using a cotton swab to smear green food coloring on your teeth.

The red or green color left on the teeth will show you where there is still plaque—and where you have to brush again to remove it.
