Caring for Whitened Teeth, Tips for Keeping Your Pearly Whites Beautiful and Bright

One of the best ways to remove stains from teeth is through professional teeth whitening. Professional whitening treatments eliminate intrinsic and extrinsic stains to give your smile a stunning appearance! Once your teeth are beautiful and bright again, you’ll need to take precautions to keep them that way. These tips from Dr. Milton Ruiz from Pines Dental Associates in Pembroke Pines, Florida, can help you keep your pearly whites sparkling for years. 

Tips for Caring for Whitened Teeth

If you’ve recently had your teeth professionally whitened, you’re undoubtedly delighted with the results! Stains and discolorations are all gone, leaving a dazzling smile you can be proud of! By taking good care of your teeth, your new smile can retain its beauty for some time. 

Here are a few tips to help keep your pearly whites shining brightly long-term:

1. Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks: Avoid eating foods or drinking beverages that can re-stain your teeth. These include coffee, fruit juices, red wine, dark soda, certain teas, dark chocolate, beets and berries. It also helps to use a straw when drinking beverages with artificial colors.
2. Stop smoking – Smoking and the use of tobacco products stain your teeth.
3. Brush and floss after eating – This cleanses your mouth of foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. If you can’t brush, rinse your mouth thoroughly.
4. Touch up your teeth regularly – Dr. Ruiz can touch up your teeth every 6 to 12 months, if needed, to keep your smile looking its best.
5. Schedule regular dental cleanings – Dental cleanings eliminate plaque and tartar buildup that cause cavities and leave a filmy residue on your teeth. They also eliminate surface stains that dull your smile’s appearance.

By working closely with your teeth whitening dentist after your whitening treatment, your smile can stay beautiful and bright for some time.
