Ten Top Ways to Whiten Your Teeth\n\nAnd they are all simple!\n\nBefore you try something more drastic, give these simple little tips a try. You might find that your teeth are white than you ever imagined. \n1. Avoid coffee and red wine as much as possible. Both will quickly stain your teeth.\n\n2. Raw veggies will clean your teeth so you not only have a healthy snack, you are cleaning your teeth at the same time. \n\n3. Keep an eye on your toothbrush. It can't do its job if it is worn out. It might sound obvious, but you have no idea how many people hold on to the same old brush. If you think about it, it is almost impossible to brush away film that hides your white teeth, with a brush that has worn out bristles.\n\n4. Strawberries have a natural bleaching effect and are loaded with Vitamin C, so you simply can't lose. Rub the pulp over your teeth and then rinse.\n\n5. Brushing your teeth every 12 hours is considered a rule of thumb. This will prevent plaque from forming and stains setting. \n\n6. Lemon peel massaged over the teeth is often used for whitening. Rinse thoroughly. \n\n7. Avoid smoking. This is one of the quickest ways of turning white teeth yellow.\n\n8. Floss at least once a day. Stains can easily form between teeth. \n\n9. Use whitening toothpastes that have the American Dental Association seal of approval.\n\n10. Have your teeth professionally cleaned once a year. Your teeth will feel so much cleaner. Makes you wonder about the rest of the time.

You need to make sure that you are flossing everyday and you are getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months. You could do salt water rinse. Part warm water, part salt, do not swallow.

You probably don't need supplements.  Just make sure you're using a fluoride toothpaste, which you probably are since most toothpastes contain it these days.  If you're worried about it and since you do have a history of cavities, you might want to try a fluoride rinse like ACT.  You only have to rinse with it once a day for one minute.  The best time to use it is at night, so that it can continue to work while you sleep.  If you visit your dentist regularly, you may want to ask your dentist or hygienist what they think since they know the condition of your teeth.  Toothpastes with a higher concentration of fluoride than what you get at the stores are available by prescription, so that's also an option.

Ingested fluoride is important until all your adult teeth are formed to help make the teeth strong.  To keep them strong and healthy brush at least 2 times a day for at least 2 minutes with a soft bristle brush.  The brush should be angled at 45 degrees and you should start at the gums and "vibrate" the brush.  Don't scrub back and forth.  This can cause recession and wear the enamel.  If this sounds like a lot of work think about a Sonicare toothbrush.  Floss daily.  Make sure you get under the gumline and wrap the floss like a "C" around each side.  You can also use an antimicrobial mouthwash like Listerine to keep the gums healthy.  Or you could use a fluoride mouthwash like ACT to help remineralize the enamel.  Also regular cleaning and exams (once every six months will be sufficient if you have no existing periodontal conditions or other dental problems) are very important to maintaining dental health.

Take good care of them.  Improvement can be seen from brushing twice daily, flossing once (usually before bed), and maybe using a mouthwash or anticavity rinse.  If you already do these things, maybe consult your dentist.

Brush your teeth with a mixture of salt and baking soda 3-4 times a week. It is also the cheepest and the least abracive.

The ideal time to floss is before bed. It is imperative that your mouth is clean before sleep because the levels of bacteria in the mouth rise during sleep. Patients with periodontal disease are encouraged to floss at night to gain the greatest benefit. \n\nBut if your teeth are relatively healthy, you can be flexible about when you floss. You don’t even have to floss at the same time as you brush. The important thing to remember is that you should floss once within a 24-hour period. Remember, plaque will start to calcify and form calculus within that time frame.
