Chocolate lovers might find this surprising because your smile can easily turn brownish after you indulge in\u00a0your favorite sweet snack. But eating dark chocolate every now and then can actually help you keep your teeth white. It\u2019s rich in\u00a0polyphenols, natural chemicals that fight oral bacteria, and studies have found that dark chocolate might be\u00a0better<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0fighting tooth decay than fluoride.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chewing on\u00a0ice can definitely help you feel refreshed, but if\u00a0you want your teeth to\u00a0stay white for longer, you may want to\u00a0break this habit. When you chew ice cubes, it\u00a0weakens your\u00a0enamel<\/a>, making your teeth more sensitive and prone to\u00a0staining. The habit of\u00a0chewing ice can also damage your existing fillings and veneers, causing your smile to\u00a0look less attractive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
