Teeth Whitening is an effective way of lightening your smile to bring out a clean and natural appearance. Very phew people have perfectly white teeth naturally. Foods, drinks, ageing and other sorts of reasons can be the cause of tooth discolouration, losing their youthful shine.  After professional teeth whitening treatment, you may think that you will stay perfectly white forever, however, this is only correct if your teeth are given the proper amount of care and attention. Here are some do’s and don’ts you can follow to keep your teeth looking they’re very best after your teeth whitening treatment in Lancaster.

Stay away from teeth-staining consumables

 If you’ve undergone teeth whitening, the motivation to keep them looking their best can be off and eventually you could find yourself drinking large amounts of tea and fizzy drinks. Tea, wine, fizzy drinks, coffee and other similar beverages can cause your teeth to become discoloured, affecting the results of your teeth whitening treatment. Foods such as curry, sweets and chocolate can all have the same effect. If you are going to indulge in these treats, it’s best to clean your teeth instantly afterwards so that the food isn’t left to set on the surface of your smile.

Practice good oral hygiene

 Your smile is not going to keep its immaculate shine if your oral hygiene is being neglected. If you are tucking into straining consumables and pushing your cleansing routine out the window, you can say goodbye to your perfectly whitened smile. One of the best ways to keep your teeth brighter and healthier is to brush and floss as required. Brushing and flossing every day can help to get rid of surface stains daily, which instantly leads to a clean and healthy smile. Having a regular cleaning routine can also help you to avoid problems such as gum disease and tooth decay, the main culprits causing discoloured teeth.

Visit your dentist regularly

After you’ve partaken in our teeth whitening in Lancaster, it’s extremely important to visit your dentist regularly afterwards. By doing this, your dentist will remove any plaque and tartar build-up to keep your smile looking and feeling its best. It’s a dentist’s privilege to be taking care of your oral health.
