Having a set of pure white teeth not only brings a confident smile, but also leaves a good impression on others. In our daily brushing habits, there are actually many details that can improve the whiteness of teeth.

Firstly, choosing the appropriate toothbrush and toothpaste is crucial. The bristles of a toothbrush should not be too hard, as hard bristles may damage the gums and tooth surfaces, and should not be too soft, otherwise teeth cannot be effectively cleaned. Medium hardness bristles can clean teeth and protect gums. In terms of toothpaste, you can choose toothpaste containing whitening ingredients, such as toothpaste containing baking soda, activated carbon, and other ingredients. These ingredients can effectively remove stains on the surface of teeth and improve the whiteness of teeth.

The correct brushing method is also crucial. Many people just brush their teeth hastily, which is not advisable. We should use the Babbitt brushing method, pointing the toothbrush at a 45 degree angle to the tooth's long axis towards the root tip, along the gum tooth junction area, so that a portion of the bristles enter the gingival sulcus and a portion lie on the gingival margin, and as much as possible extend into the adjacent space. With gentle pressure, make the bristles vibrate horizontally in a short distance in the anterior posterior direction 4-5 times in their original position. When vibrating, the toothbrush moves about 1 millimeter and only brushes 2-3 teeth at a time. When moving the toothbrush to the next set of teeth, pay attention to overlapping placement. This brushing method can effectively clean various parts of teeth, including the gaps between teeth and gingival sulcus, preventing the accumulation of stains.

The brushing time should not be too short. Generally speaking, brushing teeth should last for two to three minutes each time. Many people only brush their teeth for a few seconds, which makes it impossible to thoroughly clean them. During these two to three minutes, it is important to brush your teeth carefully using the correct method to ensure that each tooth is thoroughly cleaned.

In addition to brushing teeth in the morning and evening, rinsing mouth after meals is also an important habit. After meals, there will be food residues in the mouth. If not cleaned up in time, these residues will ferment in the mouth, produce acidic substances, corrode teeth, and cause teeth to turn yellow. Rinsing with clean water can promptly remove food residues and maintain oral hygiene. If possible, mouthwash can also be used. Mouthwash can not only clean the mouth, but also kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and prevent oral diseases.

In addition, reducing the consumption of foods that can easily stain teeth can also help improve the whiteness of teeth. Coffee, tea, red wine, cola and other beverages, as well as soy sauce and other seasonings, are all prone to staining teeth. If you cannot avoid consuming these foods, you can rinse your mouth or brush your teeth promptly after consumption to reduce the residue of stains on your teeth.

In short, improving the whiteness of teeth requires us to pay attention to details in our daily brushing habits. Choosing the right toothbrush and toothpaste, using the correct brushing method, ensuring sufficient brushing time, rinsing mouth promptly after meals, and reducing the consumption of foods that can easily stain teeth can all help us have a set of white teeth and a confident smile.
