How Do I Maintain My Newly Whitened Smile?

minute read
  • Use a whitening toothpaste to remove surface stains and prevent yellowing
  • Brush or rinse immediately after consuming stain-causing beverages or foods
  • Use a straw to drink beverages that stain, such as coffee, tea, colas and red wine
  • Wear a bright shade of lipstick-blue or pink based. It will make your teeth appear whiter. Avoid orange or brown shades
  • Check whether you need a touch up. Depending upon the whitening method you used, you may need a touch up in six months or after a year or two. If you smoke or drink a lot of coffee, you may need a touch up more often
