05. Brush Correctly (This Fixes More Than You Think)
Many people brush daily but still have yellow teeth because they:
- brush too fast (less than 2 minutes)
- miss the back side of teeth
- use too much pressure (damages enamel)
- brush at the wrong time (right after acidic drinks)
Correct brushing method
✅ Brush 2 times/day for 2 minutes
✅ Use a soft-bristle brush
✅ Clean the gumline gently
✅ Use fluoride toothpaste
✅ Replace brush every 2–3 months
Important timing tip (huge difference):
If you drink tea/coffee or eat acidic food, wait 30 minutes before brushing. Brushing immediately can wear enamel and make teeth look more yellow over time.
Brushing helps, but it won’t remove stubborn stains alone. Next page has a simple “kitchen method” that works for surface stains—but only if you do it the right way.
