Keeping teeth white can be difficult when your favorite foods include dark coffee or rich-in-color berries. Fortunately, Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS of Los Angeles, CA has professional whitening options. In addition, we want to share some tips for keeping teeth white.
A professional whitening procedure will definitely kick-start your whitening; however, you will want to know how to keep teeth white after your procedure. To keep stains away at home, you should brush your teeth three times per day. Plaque forms just hours after brushing, so make sure you brush after each meal. Wait at least thirty minutes after each meal to brush to allow your enamel to re-harden.
Dark foods and drinks like blueberries, coffee, cola, and soy sauce can discolor teeth over time. When surface stains penetrate the enamel and darken the dentin, this is what discolors the whole tooth. It is a good idea to rinse your mouth after consuming dark foods and drinks. For dark drinks, using a straw will limit the amount of time the liquid is touching your teeth.
