“I’ve had whitening done and I’m really happy with the results but I’m scared of them going back to how they were before. How can I prevent discoloration?”
- See your dentist for professional cleaning at the recommended time (usually every 3-6mths)
- If drinks have a high stain potential, use a straw
- Remember to brush shortly after you have foods or drinks that are highly staining. If you can’t, try to rinse with lots of water.
- Avoid abrasive toothpastes which may wear the enamel, exposing more of the darker substructure in your tooth (the dentine)
- Don’t smoke!
Finally, use your home whitening kit to give you a little boost occasionally!
