Question:
Are there any other foods beside milk that can make your teeth whiter?
Answers:
Okay I must say that I had to laugh at the answer that i names strawberries as a tooth whitener. Milk does not whiten your teeth either.
The better approach would be to avoid food and beverages that do stain your teeth. Examples would be tea, coffee, red wine. Tobacco also stains teeth.
Baking soda as a toothpaste additive has shown whitening success. Most products marketed to whiten your teeth are a gimmick. Mouthrinses and pastes and gum with whiteners would literally take months to years to show results.
The best way to maintain your desired shade is to brush and floss 2-3 times daily--especially at bedtime. 6-12 month cleanings with your dental hygienist is a must. If you want whiter teeth, consult your dentist for the best option that suits your specific case. Remember that only your natural enamel will respond to bleaching. If you have fillings/crowns/veneers, the bleach will not have any effect on the shade.
