Tip #1: Rinse And Brush After Meals
Do you know what happens after you eat or drink? Tiny bits of the foods and beverages you eat coat your teeth. Bacteria feed on the carbs and sugars, digesting them and releasing acids. As a result, your teeth become vulnerable to damage. Anything pigmented that you consumed rests on your teeth, potentially leading to stains. The good news? If you rinse your mouth with water after you eat, you protect the cosmetic value of your smile and your oral health. Brush a half hour later and you’re offering your smile exceptional protection.
Tip #2: Sign On for Cosmetic Care
Is your smile stained? Discolored? Lackluster? We can help. Speak with us about cosmetic care, so we may discuss your goals. We will take a detailed look at your smile to determine the extent of the discoloration, so we may offer you one of our treatment options, such as teeth whitening or porcelain veneers.
Tip #3: Take Prevention Seriously
If you want a white smile, you need a clean smile. In addition to post-snack rinsing and brushing, it is essential that you are brushing your teeth two times a day, two minutes for each brushing session. You also need to floss daily. This will ensure your cosmetic care does not go to waste – and that naturally white teeth continue to look vibrant. Of course, keep up with your twice-annual visits to see us and you’ll be in excellent shape.
