Of course your smile is the best cosmetic, beats lipstick, rouge, eyeshadow, liner, even mascara any day. Maybe it’s why bright, white teeth is the accessory that is on trend every season. It’s even more classic than the always ubiquitous leopard print.
Now, you already worked up the courage to bear the excruciating pain, not to mention spent hundreds of dollars, to professionally whiten your teeth at your dentist so you must maintain such beauty. Consistency is the key.
There are lots of foods that you might even already consume without intentions on perfecting the brightness of your smile that actually do just that. It might seem too good to be true, and if it does it’s the perfect motivation to test it out. Think of incorporating these foods, which all in their own unique ways either act as stain removers, bacteria eliminators, astringents, or stimulate saliva production to brighten the teeth, into your everyday diet like taking your most-worn heels from your closet to be resoled every season.
- Pineapples
- Raw carrots
- Sesame seeds (or gargling sesame seed oil for 20 minutes)
- Onions
- Salmon
- Broccoli
- Cheese
- Strawberries
- Dark chocolate
- Apples
- Oranges
- Baking soda (mix in with your toothpaste at night)
Munching on any raw veggie that’s crunchy when uncooked, because of the way they stimulate saliva production will help naturally cleanse your teeth.
Love,
Your Fast Lane Girl, Amber
