7 Expert tips for a brighter, whiter smile
A smile has been described as the most beautiful curve on the human body. Here’s 7 expert tips from Dirna Grobbelaar, our Oral Hygiene Advisor, to help you achieve your brightest, whitest smile – naturally.
- Clean your teeth correctly twice a day for a full two minutes each time.
- Clean in-between your teeth every day using floss or one of Sunstar GUM’s interdental tools, such as Soft-Picks Advanced.
- Go to the oral hygienist for a professional clean (ideally every six months).
- Use Sunstar GUM Original White toothpaste, floss and rinse to restore the original whiteness of your teeth and prevent further staining.
- Use a Sonic toothbrush for extra cleaning power, such as Sunstar GUM Sonic or a Philips Sonicare rechargeable powerbrush, which is clinically proven to make teeth up to two shades whiter in two weeks.
- Brush, rinse with water or chew sugar-free gum after enjoying berries, coke, coffee, tea or red wine. Green tea, white and herbal teas are less likely to stain than black tea.
- Don’t smoke.
We recommend the Sunstar GUM Original White range helps restore the original, natural whiteness of the teeth, effectively removing stains and helping prevent their reappearance.
