After you visit your dentist for a teeth whitening treatment, you’ll want that stunning pearly white shine to last as long as possible. With careful consideration, routine trips to the dentist for care, and a little bit of work on your part, you can maintain the look of your newly whitened teeth. Here are some tips to help you keep your teeth looking great:

 

Think Before You Sip

Certain drinks are a common cause of tooth discoloration, so think about what you’re drinking. Coffee, tea, soda, and red wine are the most common culprits when staining occurs. Avoid these drinks as much as possible, opting instead for water or other clear or lightly colored drinks. If you must have dark or acidic beverages, use a straw to draw the liquid past the teeth.

 

See Your Dentist

One of the best things you can do to keep your teeth white is to see your dentist regularly. Routine oral cleanings and care can prevent stains from coming back and protect the teeth from damage and discoloration. You should get your teeth cleaned as often as recommended by your dentist to ensure they stay white for as long as possible.

 

Do the Work

Small things done daily will make a difference in how long your teeth stay white. Brush and floss every single day. Not only will your oral hygiene be ideal, but your teeth will also stay whiter for longer. Rinse your mouth with water after drinking stain-causing beverages, or brush if possible. Use a whitening toothpaste as recommended by your dentist. Each of these small steps will add up to help ensure your smile stays bright.
