If you decide to beautify your smile with  professional teeth whitening, you want the results to last as long as possible. But the same things that stained your teeth before can stain them whitening. To help slow down that process, The Lewisville Dentist offers useful tips to make that stunning Lewisville TX smile last.
What To Do
First, rinse daily with anti-cavity rinse. This is reduces bacteria, slows the growth of plaque, and helps whiten your teeth. Additionally, there are over-the-counter rinses with extra whitening agents that help extend the whitening treatment results.
What Not To Do
There are certain things to steer clear of, because they are sure to stain your teeth. These include drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine, smoking, and even some medications. If you cannot totally cut these out of your life, rinse your mouth out after you use them.
Artificial coloring in anything you consume can also stain your newly whitened teeth. Candy, popsicles, and fruit punch are examples.
Remember the Basics
We probably don’t need to remind you, but brushing your teeth correctly a couple times a day will help you keep your white smile. Proper brushing should take you at least two minutes. Use short brush strokes, and pay attention to the gum line and any hard-to-reach areas. Don’t forget the chewing surfaces and your tongue. Using good brushing techniques for 120 seconds will benefit oral hygiene, and permanent stains will not build up as fast.
With just a little time and effort, you can make your newly whitened smile last. We provide family and cosmetic dentistry to the Lewisville TX, Flower Mound, and Coppell communities.
