8 tips for taking better care of your teeth

Some whitening toothpastes contain abrasive particles that can gradually wear away enamel.  To test their aggressiveness, apply a small amount to aluminum foil and rinse. If scratches appear, it’s best to choose a gentler formula.

5. Chewing sugar-free gum is beneficial

Chewing gum stimulates saliva production, which helps neutralize acids and remove food debris.  However, excessive consumption can cause jaw pain.

6. Kaolin clay, a natural ally for whiter teeth

Rather than opting for harsh treatments, try  a natural solution like kaolin clay . Apply a thin layer to your teeth and brush gently.  This gentle ingredient helps remove stains while preserving enamel.

7. Supplement your diet with essential vitamins

Certain vitamins play a key role in oral health:

• Vitamin D  (oily fish, eggs): essential for absorbing calcium.
• B vitamins and iron  (whole grains, legumes): essential for healthy gums.
• Magnesium  (almonds, sunflower seeds):  contributes to the strength of tooth enamel.

8. Good brushing technique makes all the difference
