Proper Brushing
Brush your teeth with a soft tooth brush so as to not damage your gums. Also brush upward for your bottom teeth and downward for your top teeth. Brush your teeth for approximately 2-3 minutes as a way to thoroughly clean your teeth. The use of an electric brush is a perfect tool to keep your teeth white. It rotates faster than you would normally move your toothbrush and it’s powerful to wipe away existing tarter and plaque build-up.
Brush Your Tongue
What’s the use of having white sparkling teeth if your breath is bad? Brushing your tongue will wipe away bad breath in no time. The bulk of bad breath harbors on your tongue all day. So take your tooth brush and brush your teeth and tongue.
Floss Your Teeth
We should floss once a day, preferably before bedtime. Flossing will get any particles of food left behind and remove plaque up and around your teeth. Floss either before or after brushing your teeth.
Mouthwash Every Night
A great mouthwash is a whitening mouth wash like Listerine’s Whitening Pre-Brush Rinse. This effective mouthwash is used prior to brushing your teeth to help maintain your whiter smile.
