White teeth are every woman’s beauty goal and although you invest a lot in making them as pearly as they can be, maintaining this effect is quite a hassle. More than maintenance, preserving the whiteness of your teeth requires some changes in your lifestyle and here are some tips that will help you achieve this mission successfully!

• First things first: your way to whiten your teeth is visiting your dentist, who will be able to provide you with a gentle whitening process. Some home teeth whitening products are too strong and might cause damages to the surface of your teeth.
• Don’t be hard on your teeth while brushing them. Instead, use a massaging-like intensity.
• Avoid drinks that stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, soda and colorful smoothies that contain staining ingredients such as blueberry. If you can’t stop consuming them, drink them in one sitting instead of spending the whole day sipping on them, drink water right after and brush your teeth as soon as possible.
• Food can also stain your pearly white teeth, especially sticky ones such as hard candies and caramel. Therefore, avoid consuming them to keep teeth stains at bay.
• Don’t, at any cost, use a toothbrush with hard bristles as it will damage your gums, which causes enamel breakdown. Instead, use one with soft bristles and brush your teeth for two minutes twice a day. Also, make sure to change it every three months!
