Natural Ways To Whiten Your Child’s Teeth

Certain foods can increase a child’s teeth staining especially when it is combined with not brushing properly, but it is important to not use certain products on your child’s teeth. If you are worried about the staining of your child’s teeth, Dr. Cameron Fuller recommends these safe choices instead.

Increase the amount of vegetables your child is eating. Not only are vegetables fantastic for the body, they ensure your children’s teeth are clean and being rinsed off. This decreases the chance of food debris remaining on the teeth to cause staining.  Vegetables, such as celery and cucumbers, have an even higher ratio of water.

Have your child visit the dentist. Staining may be caused by an increase in plaque stuck to their teeth. Dr. Fuller recommends, “Have your child visit the dentist on a regular basis.”  The dentist can do a cleaning and polish to remove yellow staining from the surfaces of their teeth.” This will help bring back the natural white color.

Decrease their consumption of soda or fruit juices to zero and increase their water. The color and sugar in these drinks can linger on their teeth long after they have brushed.  The more water they consume the less likely it is that stain producing foods are able to stick to their teeth.
