Brilio.net - A beautiful and charming smile makes someone more attractive when greeting or communicating with the person they are talking to. Well, one of the keys to having a sweet smile is the appearance of white and clean teeth.
Although a smile with white teeth is very desirable. In fact, not everyone has white teeth, in fact most of them experience a change in color to yellow or brown. This can happen because of poor dental care habits.
The cause of yellow teeth is not just a lack of cleanliness, but there are other factors behind it. One of them is always regularly consuming foods and drinks that have dark colors, for example coffee, tea and soy sauce.
Another factor comes from bad habits such as smoking. You need to know that cigarettes contain nicotine in tobacco. Well, using tobacco for a long time causes nicotine to enter the pores. After exposure to oxygen, nicotine slowly changes color and makes teeth yellow.
To prevent teeth from changing color, usually many people rely on whitening toothpaste. But did you know? This whitening toothpaste contains detergent, namely sodium chloride sulfate.
