How to Get the Justin Bieber Smile

With the new release of Justin Bieber’s song, “U Smile,” we thought it would be a good time to talk about how anyone can achieve a smile like the teen superstar. For young people before you consider professional teeth whitening services, there are things you can do at home. Practicing good oral hygiene is the first step. Over time, many foods and drinks can leave behind residue which can cause teeth to yellow. You can prevent that by brushing after every meal which helps to remove buildup. And when you floss regularly, this also helps to preserve both the appearance and general health of your teeth.

However, if you’ve neglected your teeth for a while, then professional teeth whitening services might be the best step toward recovering your white smile. The professional cleaning and whitening process can include controlled teeth bleaching, especially in instances where there are years of buildup. Bare in mind that one session may or may not show a significant improvement. Your dentist can advise you on what to reasonably expect from the procedure and also how to practice proper oral hygiene in between sessions.

If your teeth are in fairly good shape and you just need to freshen and whiten the surface from time to time, you may want to try using strawberries and baking soda to achieve a whiter smile. Simply mash a fresh strawberry into a pulp and add a little baking soda. Rub the combination over the surface of your teeth, then rinse. The baking soda helps to remove plaque while the acid in the strawberry can help to loosen surface stains. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and brush using a good quality toothpaste ten to fifteen minutes after the treatment.
