Watch Our VideoMany Americans find that a white and radiant smile is the key to creating an excellent first impression, which is why so many patients desire teeth whitening procedures, as teeth whitening is a simple and straightforward method to improve a smile’s appearance. However, it is very important that you take proper care of your teeth after receiving teeth whitening so that you don’t undo your beautiful results.
We can help you maintain your new white smile for a long time with smile tips and help you recognize what to avoid.
Keep in mind that one of the main causes of tooth stains is popular drinks that you may enjoy. The main drinks that cause tooth stains include citrus juices such as orange and grapefruit juices, coffee, colas, and red wine. If you don’t want to have to give up these drinks, we invite you to take steps to change the way you drink these beverages, such as using a straw and consuming them less.
Quitting or avoiding smoking will also help you avoid stains. Certain foods can also result in tooth staining, and we advise against eating cherries, blueberries, beets, and hard candies that can stain your mouth or your tongue. Brush your teeth after every meal or at least twice a day.
