Healthy teeth and eatingThe most important part of tooth care doesn’t happen in the dentists office, it happens at home. Careful brushing, flossing, regularly using mouthwash and having regular dental check-ups ensures that our teeth remain strong and healthy, and fit for a lifetime of use. However, many people haven’t realised that dental care goes beyond our normal routines, but also includes our diet and the food and drink we consume. There are a number of foods which can cause or contribute to the staining of your teeth or some other form of damage, and these should be avoided. While many automatically assume this means food laden with sugars, which are known to lead to tooth decay and other tooth disorders, there are many other types of harmful food that you many not be aware of.? Our normal diet can include foods which are high in acid content, such as citrus fruit. While these are generally beneficial for overall health, they contain a considerable amount of acid which can cause damage and discolouration. Avoiding these foods before bed, or simply rinsing your mouth and brushing after eating will go a long way to helping in dental care. Many drinks can also stain teeth, such as tea, coffee, colas and other stained soft drinks, wine and soy sauce. However, while rinsing and brushing can assist in the build-up of stains, it is very difficult to exclude all these foods and drinks from an average diet, and so many peoples teeth can build up some staining over time.?The classic picture of strong, healthy teeth is a wide, bright, white smile. Unfortunately, our everyday eating habits can inadvertently stain our teeth. Teeth whitening is often dismissed as just a cosmetic procedure, however white teeth show active dental care, and are an immediately obvious sign that you take care of yourself and how you appear to the world. Professional laser teeth whitening by a specialist is a very effective way to get the best and safest results quickly. ? Modern laser teeth whitening technology uses the most advanced systems, using high intensity blue light which can brighten teeth by between 5 and 14 shades, though the average is around 8 shades lighter. Sessions are normally undertaken in a small number of short sessions for the best results. Smile 60 Laser Teeth Whitening
