Precautions
Teeth Whitening

Do not take excess tea and coffee. These beverages contain strong alkaloids which can stain the teeth.
Smoking also makes teeth lose the white coloration of the teeth.
Chewing betel leaf (paan) is done in several Indian regions. This is also disastrous to the whiteness of the teeth.
Include pungent, bitter and astringent foods in your daily diet. These tastes have an astringent effect on the teeth that helps to maintain them clean. They also take care of the excess buildup of plaque on the teeth, which makes them lose their pearly white color.
Brush your teeth after every meal, or at least in the morning and before going to bed. While brushing your teeth, take care to sweep out all the embedded food particles.
