Using chemical whiteners are harsh and can permanently weaken the enamel of your teeth. Add these five easy, inexpensive tips to your regimen for a whiter, healthier smile.
- It’s a given that you should brush and floss immediately after eating. If this is not a convenient option, rinse mouth with water to remove any potentially staining residue from your meal.
- Use a straw to drink drinks that can stain your teeth such as coffee, tea, and red wine.
- Snack on crunchy foods such as carrots and apples. The extra chewing required for these foods helps remove plaque build up.
- Brush teeth with baking soda. It naturally oxidizes stains on tooth enamel. It is also very inexpensive.
- Be proactive. Visit the dentist every six months to have your teeth professionally cleaned and get your kids to a dentist for children. Visit your orthodontist at Midtown dentists to check if you need dental braces.

Love the look of red lips, but afraid it won’t work for you? You really can look great in a classic Chanel red lipstick . It all depends on the undertone. Here is a quick lesson in color theory to help you choose colors that best compliment your complexion.
It is important to take the undertone of your complexion into consideration. The universal categorization of undertones is as follows:
Pink undertones: cool complexion
Yellow undertones: warm complexion
There is no real method to determining your undertone. However, if your veins appear more blue, you more than likely have pink undertones. If your veins appear more green, you more than likely have yellow undertones. Seek the professional assessment of a makeup artist if you are still unsure.
Cool complexion: complimented by blue based colors
Warm complexion: complimented by yellow, orange based colors
