Whiter teeth can take years of your age and whilst trying to keep your skin young it’s worth spending some time trying to keep your teeth healthy too. When we look at someone’s face, 90% of the time we will focus on the mouth and ’smile zone’. Discoloured teeth age you as much as wrinkles. There are two options available for whitening your teeth - one with the dentist for a laser whitening or tray bleaching or one which is less costly but more gradual effect would be via a off the shelf treatment. Stains can penetrate the upper layers of tooth enamel making them difficult to remove using toothpaste alone. Whitening kits work in a similar way to the dentist tray technique by reacting on the enamels surface to whiten any stains and change the transparency so it reflects more light making your teeth look brighter.

Brushing your teeth properly and regularly at least twice a day is vital to healthy teeth and gums. Using a soft bristled brush you should brush for a minimum of 2 minutes holding the arm of the brush at a 45 degree angle whether your gums meet your teeth. This way you clean around the gum line as well as between the teeth. Using dental floss and a tongue scraper can help prevent plaque build up and keep breath fresh. Flossing is key because brushing only cleans about 60% of the tooth surface. Any food or drink that could stain a white garment can also stain your teeth – they become more porous as they age so the older your teeth the more stain absorption they will be.

Scientist at Kings College London found that women with high levels of vitamin D have longer telomeres (part of our DNA that protects chromosomes from destruction) a sign of being biologically younger and healthier. This also suggests that vitamin D can help slow down DNA ageing and is essential to a healthy body by supporting bone health and other functions. Most of our vitamin D is from sunlight but this can be hard in winter when the weather is bad. The recommended daily amount set to prevent deficiency is set at 5 micrograms. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or get less than 10 minutes exposure to sunlight then the RDA is 10mircorgrams.
