We often get asked how to maintain the colour of your teeth after they have been whitened, so here’s our handy tips…
- See your dentist/ hygienist for professional cleaning at the recommended time interval (usually every 3-6mths)
- If drinks have a high stain potential, use a straw
- Remember to brush shortly after you have 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 a home whitening kit to give you a little boost occasionally!
