Brush each quadrant of your mouth no less than 30 seconds and make sure you reach around and brush each tooth at every angle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t over-bleach!<\/strong> Studies have shown that people who chronically use whitening products will experience seriously sensitive teeth. However, if you just use whitening tooth paste for two weeks at a time, you may get the same effects and experience less sensitivity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect your enamel.<\/strong> A firm brush is not necessary for cleaning away plaque. Instead, use a soft bristled brush and use it for at least two minutes to scrub each tooth at every angle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Floss!<\/strong> Leaving food particles between your teeth with ensure your breath stinks and cavities have a comfortable place to grow. It&#8217;s a quick and easy thing to do, so make sure you do it at least twice each day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Defeat dragon breath.<\/strong> If brushing and flossing aren\u2019t working, make sure you brush or scrape the back of your tongue. Bacteria loves to hang out here and stink up the place. A little minty mouthwash never hurt either!<\/li>\n<li><strong>See your dentist.<\/strong> If religiously taking great care of your teeth while including a whitening toothpaste doesn&#8217;t give you the gorgeous smile you&#8217;re eager to have, it may be time to seek professional help.
