There are many things you can do on a daily basis to get a whiter, more beautiful smile!

If you want a whiter smile, you’ll be glad to know that your daily habits can help you get the smile you’ve always wanted! Our dentist in Texarkana is dedicated to giving you the smile of your dreams, and that’s why we’ve come up with the following list of everyday habits for a whiter smile:

#1. Pay attention to your diet. 

Your diet plays a big role in the color of your teeth, and unfortunately, there are many foods and drinks that can discolor your teeth. If you haven’t already, check out our latest blogs on foods and drinks that can discolor your teeth to learn about what to avoid.

#2. Change out your toothbrush. 

Bacteria can build up on your toothbrush that can lead to discoloration. Even if the bristles on your toothbrush are still perfectly intact, it’s important to replace your toothbrush (or your toothbrush head if you have an electric toothbrush) every few months.

#3. Invest in a tongue scraper.

Many people think that brushing the tongue is simply about bad breath, but bacteria can accumulate on the tongue that can also lead to discoloration. With your toothbrush, or preferably a tongue scraper, you should gently clean your tongue every day.

Although all of these everyday habits will help you whiten your smile, there are more things you can do to get the white smile you’ve always wanted. To learn more, please stay tuned for our next blog.
