新概念雙語：6招助你牙齒亮白：自信微笑露八顆牙

1、Use teeth whitening floss

用美白牙線

Tooth floss is an absolute must-have。 We are sure that you already have this item in your bathroom。 However， tooth floss with whitening components will not only clean your teeth。 It will also help you keep the enamel whiter。 Whitening floss will reach those spots which are hard to see。 At the same time you will make your gums much healthier as well。 That’s a simple tip yet quite effective。

牙線絕對是必備品，我們相信你家浴室里一定備有這個東西。不過，具有美白成分的牙線不僅能清潔牙齒，還有助于保持牙釉質(zhì)亮白。美白牙線能深入看不見的地方，同時也能使牙齦更健康，這招簡單卻很有效。

2、Tooth brush should be replaced more often

勤換牙刷

Do you keep track of how often you replace your old tooth brush? It all starts with small items， so please pay attention to how new your tooth brush is。 Why is it so important? The answer is simple。 The older your tooth brush is， the more bacteria it accumulates。 Such a brush causes more harm than good。 Purchase a new tooth brush and learn to clean your mouth properly。 Brushing only your teeth is definitely not enough。 Massage your gums， clean your tongue and gargle your throat twice a day。 The same rule applies to electric tooth brushes。 Depending on the frequency with which you use the brush， change the head more often than you used to。

你是否注意過自己多久換掉舊牙刷?一切都是從小事開始的，所以你要注意牙刷是否總是新的。這為什么如此重要?答案很簡單。你的牙刷越舊，上面積聚的細(xì)菌越多。這樣的牙刷有百害而無一利。去買個新牙刷，學(xué)學(xué)如何正確刷牙。只刷牙絕對不夠，還要按摩牙齦、清潔舌頭、漱喉嚨，這些每天都要來兩次。電動牙刷也是如此，根據(jù)你用牙刷的頻率，要比從前更勤更換牙刷頭。

3、A few tasty treats to keep your teeth white

少吃好吃的來保持牙齒潔白

Some of us strongly believe that food and drinks consumed by us can damage our teeth。 This is partly true and if you eat plenty of beetroot， black currant or drink red wine， black coffee and tea on a regular basis， then your teeth might not look as white as you would like。 Avoid snacks and foods that have artificial colors， such as candies and sodas and replace them with healthier options。 Luckily， there are foods than are healthy for your health。 You can significantly improve your dental hygiene if you eat apples， celery， broccoli and spinach。 Fruits and vegetable are full of minerals that can make your teeth whiter and your enamel stronger。

我們中有些人堅信我們食物和飲料會損壞牙齒，這種說法不完全正確，如果你經(jīng)常吃太多甜菜根、黑加侖或喝紅酒、黑咖啡和茶的話，那你牙齒的潔白程度可能就不盡如人意。不要吃含人工色素的零食或食物，比如糖果和碳酸飲料，你可以選擇更健康的替代品。所幸有很多食物對健康很有好處。吃蘋果、芹菜、西蘭花和菠菜都可以顯著改善口腔健康。水果蔬菜都富含礦物質(zhì)，可以美白牙齒、堅固牙釉質(zhì)。

4、Use a special straw with your drinks

用一種特殊吸管喝東西

It is easy to avoid unwanted stains on your teeth。 All you need to do is to use a straw with drinks that are harmful to teeth。 Usually， when we drink the liquid inevitably gets in contact with our teeth。 If your tooth enamel is porous， the colors contained in beverages easily absorb into it and your teeth lose their natural whiteness。 We recommend you should visit an online store and order a package of straws。 Straws do not cost much。 On the contrary， you will save a lot since you will not need to spend money on tooth whitening procedures performed by professionals。

避免牙齒上出現(xiàn)討厭的斑點很容易，你需要做的就是用吸管喝對牙齒不好的飲料。通常我們喝東西時，飲料不可避免會接觸牙齒。如果你的牙釉質(zhì)不堅固，飲料的顏色就很容易滲入牙釉質(zhì)，牙齒就失去了自然的潔白。我們建議你去網(wǎng)上商店買一包吸管。吸管用不了多少錢，相反，你可以省下很多錢，因為你不需要花錢找專業(yè)人士幫你美白牙齒了。

5、Oil pulling helps your overall oral health

油拔幫助你全面提升口腔健康

This tip might sound bizarre and hard to believe in。 Oil pulling can help you avoid a lot of other health problems related to dental hygiene。 This procedure can greatly improve the color of your tooth enamel， digestion， vision and even hair and nail growth。 Now let us teach you how to pull oil。 Purchase a bottle of oil。 Make sure that the oil is organic and cold pressed。 Olive oil or coconut oil will do just fine。 Put a spoonful of the product in your mouth。 Swish the oil for a couple of minutes and then start pulling it through your teeth。 Do this for about 5-10 minutes。 Practice it every day and you will soon see the results。 Oil disinfects， washes away bacteria and kills parasites。 Try out different oils and pick your favorite。

這個建議可能聽起來有點怪，很難讓人相信。油拔能幫助你避免很多其他與口腔健康有關(guān)的問題。這種方法能大大改善牙釉質(zhì)顏色、消化系統(tǒng)、視力、甚至頭發(fā)和指甲的生長?，F(xiàn)在我來教你如何油拔。先買一瓶油，一定要買有機冷榨的油，橄欖油或椰子油也可以。在嘴里放一匙油，在嘴里翻滾幾分鐘，然后在齒間推拽，如此進行5-10分鐘。每天都做，很快就能看出效果。油能消毒、清潔細(xì)菌、殺死寄生蟲。嘗試不同的油，然后選一種你最喜歡的。

6、Gargle your mouth with apple cider vinegar

用蘋果醋漱口

Apple cider vinegar should be in your food pantry at all times。 It improves your health from inside out and does not require you to have loads of money。 It is known that apple cider vinegar can make your smile more appealing。 Start your next morning with a simple procedure – gargle it， spit it out and then brush your teeth。 The vinegar removes stains on the enamel plus kills harmful bacteria building up on your tongue， gums and teeth。 It might take you a bit of time to get used to the taste。 Do not worry， you will soon develop tolerance。 Keep in mind that apple cider vinegar is better since gargling regular vinegar is too challenging for most people。

食品柜里應(yīng)該常備蘋果醋。它能由內(nèi)而外改善你的健康，還不需花太多錢。眾所周知蘋果醋能使你的微笑更迷人。明天早上開始采取這個簡單步驟——漱口、吐掉然后刷牙。蘋果醋能去掉牙釉質(zhì)上的污點，還能殺死舌頭、牙齦和牙齒上的有害細(xì)菌。你可能需要一段時間才能適應(yīng)這個味道。別擔(dān)心，你很快就能忍受了。記住蘋果醋更好，因為用普通醋漱口對大多數(shù)人來說太具有挑戰(zhàn)性了。
