# Teeth care

Bad teeth ruin your looks, no matter how good your jawline or skin is. Yellow, crooked, or dirty teeth make you look unhygienic and unattractive. Clean, white, and straight teeth make a huge difference.

Here’s how to fix them.

### D**aily Teeth Care**

🪥 **Brush Properly (Twice a Day, 2 Minutes Each Time)**

* Use a **soft-bristle toothbrush** and a fluoride toothpaste.
* Brush **all surfaces** — front, back, and chewing surfaces.
* Don’t forget your **tongue** — bad breath comes from bacteria buildup.

🧵 **Floss Every Night**

* Floss removes food and plaque **between your teeth** that brushing misses.
* If you skip flossing, your breath will stink, and your gums will recede.

💦 **Mouthwash (Optional but Useful)**

* Helps kill bacteria and freshen breath.
* Use an **alcohol-free** mouthwash to avoid dry mouth.

### W**hitening Your Teeth**

If your teeth are yellow, **fix it.** White teeth make your face look cleaner, younger, and more attractive.

* **Use Whitening Powder** – Activated charcoal or baking soda (1-2x per week, not daily).
* **Try Whitening Strips** – Use as directed (too much = sensitive teeth).
* **Professional Whitening** – Dentists offer treatments that work faster and last longer.

❌ **Avoid smoking –** it stain your teeth over time (and non only teeth).

If you have bad teeth, also avoid drinking too much coffee and eating too much candies.

### D**entist Checkups (Once a Year, Minimum)**

✔ Get a **professional cleaning** at least **once a year** to remove plaque buildup. This is not only about your look, but also about your health.\
✔ If you have cavities, **fix them early** before they get worse.\
✔ If you have gum issues, **don’t ignore them.** Receding gums make your teeth look worse.

### S**traighten Your Teeth (If Needed)**

Crooked teeth don’t just affect your smile. **They affect your entire face shape.** A misaligned bite can make your jawline look weaker and even cause asymmetry.

✔ **Braces or Clear Aligners** – depending on how bad your teeth are, straightening can take months to years, but it’s worth it.\
✔ **Retainers** – if you’ve had braces before, wear your retainer to keep your teeth in place.

**Don’t be lazy about this.** The sooner you fix your teeth, the better.
