8 Things That Ruin Your Smile

It’s almost 2020 and a Hollywood smile isn’t just for celebrities. We all want those really pretty straight and shiny white teeth. But most of us choose to go about it the wrong way. Instead of thinking how to prevent staining and keep your teeth healthy, we instead choose to spend a fortune on electric toothbrushes and whitening products, which can actually damage the enamel of your teeth, which is the opposite of what you want. So here are a few things that ruin your smile and you should definitely stop doing.

1. Drinking Fizzy Drinks

Fizzy drinks are horrible for your teeth. If you drink them throughout the day you’re essentially just letting sugar sit on your teeth all day long and basically asking for cavities in the future. It’s no secret that sugar causes tooth decay and fizzy drinks are like 90% sugar. On top of that, fizzy drinks lower the PH level in your mouth which can weaken the enamel and cause discoloration on your teeth.

2. Smoking

Smoking kills, we know this. But it also causes deep stains on your teeth, it causes bad breath and can lead to cancer. So if you want a nice white Hollywood smile we suggest you just quit smoking if you still do. Because no amount of gum or mints that you have after a smoke can save you from the long term stains smoking can cause over the years.

3. E-cigs and Vaping

Lots of people think that if they stop old-school smoking and just vape instead – they’re essentially tricked the system and can keep their fresh breath and pearly whites while still getting their nicotine. That’s not exactly true. So far the long term effects of vaping haven’t been studied yet, but the few studies that have been done show that e-cigs and vaping still kills cells in your mouth and can damage your gums, which in turn will have a very bad effect on your teeth. It’s best to just not mess with nicotine at all.
