Preparation of the mixture

Usage:  Take 2 tablespoons of mixture in the morning on an empty stomach and 2 tablespoons at night two hours after dinner.

Regular visit to the dentist’s office

A regular visit to your dentist’s office for dental checkup can prevent staining of teeth.  Hardcore dental staining can be only removed by a professional dentist.

Brush your teeth at least two times a day

For a healthy set of teeth, brushing twice a day is needed for both non-smoker as well as smokers.  For smokers, brushing twice a day becomes more than important to prevent teeth staining and tartar buildup.  Flossing two times a day is good.  You can use inter-dental cleaners such as Oral-B inter-dental brush or Sulcabrush.

Diet

Consume a well-balanced and nutritious meal containing loads of fruits and vegetables to keep your teeth strong and healthy.  If you eat any sugary foods, chips, or foods which sticks to your teeth, immediately brush your teeth to prevent tooth decay.

Trying and giving up the habit of smoking not only helps you to have a good set of teeth but also keeps you away from those life-threatening respiratory diseases and even lung cancers.

Quit smoking if you value your life as well as the lives of the people you love.
