Some people are born with a set of teeth so white,How to Get White Teeth Fast and Lose That Silly Mona Lisa Smile Articles that it almost hurts your eyes to look at them when they smile. The remainder of us have to diligently work hard in order to achieve a similarly sparkling smile.

If you've reached a certain age, you are more than likely to have teeth that have become discoloured, due to several facts:

1: Tea - Are you drinking tea? If you're drinking from a white cup, you have probably noticed that, even after washing your cup and rinsing it, a brownish-coloured residue still remains due to its former content.

The same thing happens to your teeth. The delicious brew, which you have just enjoyed, leaves stains that are difficult to remove, and are clearly noticeable when you smile.

2: Wine - Spill a few drops on the table cloth, and you know how hard THAT stain is to remove, even with the best available washing powder.

Drink a glass of wine, and a similar result will show on your teeth.

3: Age - Do you play the piano? If you have a piano in your home, you might have noticed something strange. Over the years, the keys change colour, from shining white to a more undesirable yellowish colour.

Guess what? This happens to elephants and humans, too.

Our teeth change colour with age.

4: Plaque - For some unknown reason, nature works to cover your teeth with plaque, which then sticks to them and causes decay; that is, unless you daily brush your teeth vigorously and for a reasonable length of time.

What Can You Do to Obtain a Brilliant Set of White Teeth?

Easy! Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, aging and ... eating?

Nah, it's really not possible, is it?

* Of course, you can totally avoid drinking coffee, tea and wine. However, in small amounts, these drinks can actually prove to be healthy for you. And they also taste good, so why derive yourself of that pleasure?

* You obviously cannot avoid aging. You can slow the aging process in varying ways, but you cannot totally avoid it. However, the details regarding this subject are not within the realms of this article.

* Your teeth will gradually become darker over the years. Unfortunately, that's a fact about which you cannot do anything.

* Of course you can scrub your teeth for three minutes every morning and evening with an electric toothbrush.

But to be honest, this is a tedious task, isn't it? It's too short a period to begin listening to a podcast or an audio book. And it's just long enough to become boring.

Many people, then, begin to  skip a few minutes here and there. The result? Not as nice-looking teeth.

Finally - How to Get White Teeth Fast

If you want white teeth, you need to diligently brush them and also use some type of whitener. If you want quick results, there is something which you can do twice daily (brush), and something you should only do once a week (whiten).

You want to keep all your teeth, right?

Okay, then let's look at your options.

You need to remove the coffee, tea, and wine stains from your teeth. And the aging colour that makes your smile look like a peek into a second-hand China shop.

For this purpose, you can use a normal household remedy such as baking soda. Just put a little on your toothbrush, and brush your teeth with it.

You can improve this method by mixing baking soda together with hydrogen peroxide. But, be careful. You don't want to swallow any of this mixture. And only brush your teeth with this highly effective paste once a week, or you'll hurt your teeth and maybe even cause painful abrasive damage. Believe me: You don't want that. It hurts like ... well, the place that never freezes over.
