Keep your teeth white with these tasty treats
We almost always assume that no matter what food we put into our mouth, we are doing some sort of damage to our teeth. While the truth isn’t nearly as dramatic, it still holds water. Coffee, soda pop, and tea can all do some damage to your smile. Juice filled berries as well as soy sauce soaked rice can do the same thing. So if you are feeling like a snack and you want to whiten your teeth at the same time, try foods high in fiber. Apples, spinach, broccoli, carrots and celery are all healthy ways to scrub your smile. There are a whole host of other health benefits of these treats as well. So eat away and don’t feel guilty! If you have trouble remembering what times of food or drinks to be consuming then just remember this simple little fact: if it is dark in color before it goes to your lips then it will probably stain your teeth. So avoid anything super dark, or else opt for brushing your teeth immediately afterward.

Use a hot straw with your hot beverage
As we briefly talked about above, beverages can change the way that your smile looks over time. Highly caffeinated, dark drinks, like coffee and soda can do a whole mess of damage to your smile. You will be staining your enamel and feeling the effects every time that you look into the mirror. So if you want to enjoy your drinks without paying for it with tooth whiteness, try a hot straw. The reason that these drinks do so much damage to your smile is that you drink them through your teeth. They hit your teeth head on and tend to stick there before you end up swallowing them down. The hot straw works as an effective way to eliminate that major concern. You can get a package of hot straws online for a cheap price. They won’t break over time and they don’t leak chemicals into your drink, like regular plastic straws. They allow you to drink your beverage through a straw, even hot, directly passed your teeth. A little odd to get used to, but it is a safe way to improve your teeth.
