Three Tips to Keep Your Teeth White and Your Smile Bright

By March 29, 2018 May 1st, 2022 No Comments

With the many improvements in dentistry and oral care, people no longer have to worry about walking around with yellow teeth and nervous smiles. Today, brightening your smile is as easy as visiting your dentist or using an at-home treatment option. Although these methods help to produce a whiter smile, you must combine your efforts. Here are three proven methods for doing so:

Exercising Good Oral Hygiene

Practicing good oral hygiene is necessary for anyone who wants to keep their teeth white. Make a point to brush your teeth after you eat – this is especially true if you are consuming foods and drinks that are proven to stain teeth. Brushing your teeth twice a day with whitening toothpaste to help remove any surface stains and decrease any yellowing effects. It’s also important to floss at least once a day to remove any plaque that has built up.

Pay Attention to the Foods You Eat

Keeping your teeth white is a process. While practicing good oral hygiene is important, watching what you eat or drink is just as crucial. Coffee, wine, energy drinks, tea, soda, and berries are just some of the substances that canĀ stain your teeth. You can still enjoy these foods and drinks – just make sure you’re practicing moderation.

Schedule Follow-Up Treatments

To keep teeth white, it’s not enough to get your teeth whitened once and expect them to stay that way. We will send you home with our teeth whitening treatment kit. You will need to implement these treatments as directed to keep your teeth white. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking and excessive drinking stain-causing liquids, may require more frequent touch-ups. More importantly, you will need to schedule your six-month cleaning checkups to help keep up with your oral hygiene and health.
