  1. 1
    Brush your teeth twice a day (morning/night). This will rid most plaque, but not all. Use small, circular motions, and make sure to brush every tooth. Avoid simply scrubbing back and forth. Make sure that you use fluoride toothpaste for best results.
  2. 2
    Floss once a day. Be gentle and ease the floss between your teeth—forcing the floss can damage your gums. Use the floss at night so it can remove all gunk that has accumulated throughout the day.
  3. 3
    Use mouthwash. There are many different types of mouthwash available, for all different types of teeth, and now, many for sensitive teeth, if you think you could have sensitive teeth, consult your dentist before spending any money.
  4. 4
    If your teeth are still yellowish, use a smokers toothpaste. This will be effective even if you don't smoke, as it is designed to remove yellowish stains.
  5. 5
    Show off your new pearly white teeth!
