The Expert Is In COSMETIC DENTIST DR. MARC LOWENBERG
For a bright smile, follow these doc-approved tips straight from the celeb-favorite dental practice of Lowenberg, Lituchy & Kantor in NYC.
1 Tell us the common foods and beverages that cause stains on teeth.
Anything that would stain a white blouse will stain your teeth, such as berries, red wine and sauces. Sticky candy or sticky carbohydrates like pasta and bread will also stick to the teeth and allow surface stains to form.
2 What are some budgetfriendly, at-home whitening options?
Whitening strips combined with the daily use of a toothpaste that contains hydrogen peroxide. Crest 3D White Luxe Whitestrips and Optic White Platinum High Impact White Toothpaste are great choices.
3 Any other interesting hacks to brighten your pearly whites?
You can brush daily with a homemade paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Slowly pour the hydrogen peroxide into the baking soda powder and mix enough of each so the consistency is the same as toothpaste.
