To use it directly on your teeth and whiten them mix a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda with some water to make a paste. Then simply apply it to your teeth. You’ll need to do this every day to see the effects, it’s a gradual process. This is great for your teeth and your gums. Simply add a teaspoon of salt to a cup of boiled water and let it cool. You can then use it in the same way as you would a mouthwash. The salt is a natural antibacterial, killing unfriendly bacteria in your mouth.
Fortunately, there are simple ways to keep teeth strong and healthy from childhood to old age. Here’s how: Start children early. Once that first tooth appears usually around six months you should begin a child’s dental care. Teeth can be wiped with a clean, damp cloth or a very soft brush. At about age 2, you can let kids try brushing for themselves — although it’s important to supervise. Start early and avoid your child being part of the 50% of children between the ages of 12 and 15 who have cavities.
We believe that one of the most important aspects of dental care is a visit to the hygienist. To enable the highest standards of dental care, the prevention and maintenance of gums is critical. Dental hygiene visits should be as routine for people as exercise or eating healthy food. To keep our mouth and body healthy we should focus on dental hygiene being prevention rather than treatment.Who we are ? Diane Washington and Debbie Proctor are the founders of Mint Dental Hygiene.

Teeth whitening advices. Do you need to maintain healthy teeth and gums? Here are a few tricks: Baking Soda & Lemon: Mix a tablespoon of toothpaste, a pinch of salt, a bit of baking soda, and 4-5 drops of lemon juice in a bowl. Brush your teeth with this mixture for 4-5 minutes. You’ll see the difference after just one use. Use this method every other week. A home tooth-whitening kit contains carbamide peroxide, a bleach that can remove both deep and surface stains and actually changes your natural tooth color. If you have coffee-stained teeth, a tooth-bleaching kit can help. With some kits, you apply a peroxide-based gel (with a small brush) to the surface of your teeth. In other kits, the gel is in a tray that molds to the teeth. The tray must be worn daily (for 30 to 45 minutes) for a week or more.
Avoid ‘Baby Bottle Decay’: Don’t put your infant or older child down for a nap with a bottle of juice, formula, or milk. Sugary liquids cling to his teeth, feeding bacteria that can cause tooth decay. If you must give your child a bottle to take to bed, make sure it contains only water. Once they begin to erupt, brush teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste in an amount no more than a smear the size of a grain of rice – use a soft-bristle toothbrush. Take the bottle away after your child finishes drinking to prevent baby bottle tooth decay. Baby bottle tooth decay can happen when babies drink milk, formula, or juice from bottles over long periods of time or fall asleep with the bottle.
