• Watch your plate
The teeth are in perpetual contact with what passes through our mouth and can therefore quickly suffer from it… For whiter teeth in the long term, we avoid overconsumption of coffee and… cigarettes! These two bad daily habits can indeed damage the teeth and it has been discovered that coffee stains and erosion due to nicotine are resistant to whitening and even the most effective toothpastes. In addition to harming teeth and gums, drinking coffee and smoking are much more likely to carry other health risks.
Also avoid: soft drinks and alcohol because they simply turn into sugar after consumption, which erodes and damages the structure of your teeth.
• Betting on invisible aligners
Quickly close a diastema (happy teeth), realign all the teeth or even fight against dental loosening, it is now possible without having to break the bank or go through the metal dental appliance box. Progress and dental technology have allowed the development of the famous invisible aligners. Sign of invisible aligners tested and approved by our editorial staff: Your Smile Direct.

• Change your teeth cleaning routine
We are not going to give you the traditional reminder that you have to change your toothbrush every month, whatever… Have you also thought about switching from the traditional brush to the electric toothbrush? Power tines have been proven to help clean hard to reach spaces between teeth, which is 40% of your teeth surface. Not cleaning between teeth can lead to inflammation and even gum disease.

In the same spirit, know that it is high time to integrate into your dental routine, Coup de coeur for the products of the Regenerate brand, a premium dental care brand that has developed a technology to regenerate enamel. You should know that the enamel is the only part of the body that does not regenerate, unlike the skin or hair for example. Regenerate is the first technology to regenerate it, and reverse erosion from food and drink, at an early stage. The treatments therefore have no whitening active ingredient, but regenerating the enamel helps restore the natural whiteness of the teeth.
