Our smile is our calling card. It is the first thing people notice about us and can influence how they perceive us. A white smile makes us look healthy, attractive and confident. On the other hand, yellowed teeth can give the impression of neglect and negatively affect our interpersonal relationships.
According to statistics, up to 90% of people notice their teeth first when they first meet someone. Up to 65% of people perceive yellowed teeth as unattractive, and 40% of people would turn down a date with someone who has yellowed teeth.
Fortunately, with a little effort and proper care, you too can maintain a white smile!
SO HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A WHITE SMILE?
A white and radiant smile is a dream for many people. There are several factors that affect the color of your teeth, but with a little effort and proper care, you can maintain a white smile in the comfort of your own home, even into your later years.
Tips for proper care:
- Brush your teeth regularly twice a day for 2 minutes with a soft toothbrush and whitening toothpaste.
- Use dental floss once a day to remove plaque and food debris from between your teeth.
- Regularly use mouthwash to help reduce bacteria and freshen your breath.
- Visit the dentist once a year for a preventive checkup and dental hygiene.
- Use whitening products, such as whitening toothpastes, mouthwashes, and whitening strips. These products will help you maintain a white smile between dental visits.

In addition to proper dental care, what you eat and drink is also important. Certain foods and drinks can stain your teeth and negatively affect their whiteness, such as:
- Coffee and tea contain dyes that settle on teeth and cause them to turn yellow.
- Red wine contains tannins, which also settle on teeth and cause them to turn yellow.
- Cigarette smoking is one of the most common factors that cause yellowing of teeth.
- Colorful foods and drinks, such as kofola, beetroot, soy sauce, juices and ketchup, also contain dyes that settle on teeth and cause them to turn yellow.
Do you know which foods will help you keep your teeth white?
- High-fiber fruits and vegetables, such as apples, carrots, and celery, help clean teeth and remove plaque.
- Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, contain calcium and phosphorus, which are important for healthy teeth.
- Drinking enough water helps keep your mouth moist and reduces the risk of tooth decay.
TIP FROM MAJDENT:
- If you can't completely avoid foods and drinks that are detrimental to the whiteness of your smile, try drinking them through a straw to minimize contact of the liquid with the surface of your teeth.
- Rinse your mouth with clean water after consuming coloring foods and drinks.
- Chew sugar-free gum, which will help stimulate saliva production and neutralize acids in your mouth.
