Yeah, sensitive teeth and then the underlying tooth will start to shine through and that's quite yellow.

So you actually start ending up doing the opposite of what you wanted to do.

Then whitening, so you should do that professionally.

Don't go and buy some over-the-counter online thing.

Because a lot of the time, either they don't have the right percentages and they can actually damage the teeth and the gums really badly.

So you want to get that done professionally.

If you get it done by a good brand and even within the professional world, there are some whitening products out there which are really bad for the teeth and others which are actually really good for the teeth.

So we use one in particular.

It's called Enlighten.

And the whitening for one day is the equivalent of having a Coca-Cola.

So thinking about it, I mean, I'm sure everyone has had a Coca-Cola in their life.

Having a Coca-Cola every day for, let's say, five or six days is OK in the grand scheme of things.

It's not going to massively damage your teeth at all.

So you can try a water flosser.

Well, the reason I think that the water flossers are not that high intensity is because people can damage their teeth if they don't use it correctly.

So kind of know there are some supplements that you can take to reduce the amount of plaque that builds up.

And that actually does work quite effectively.

These are probiotics.

Okay.

So going back to our microbiome, probiotics are basically good bacteria.
