Maintaining Your Sparkling Smile After Teeth Whitening

So, you’ve just walked out of Rosehill Dentistry with a smile so bright it’s got you wearing sunglasses indoors—thanks to a professional teeth whitening session with Dr. Austin Rickabaugh. But how do you keep that sparkle as dazzling as the moment you left the dentist’s chair? It’s not magic; it just feels like it. Here’s your go-to guide for maintaining that gleam.

Your Bright Smile Maintenance Plan

Watch Your Diet: Certain foods and beverages are notorious for staining teeth. Coffee, red wine, and soy sauce are like the archenemies of your pearly whites. If you can’t steer clear, consider sipping those dark liquids through a straw to keep stains at bay.

Stick to a Stellar Oral Hygiene Routine: Brushing twice a day and flossing are your teeth’s best friends. Consider using a whitening toothpaste like Arm & Hammer to gently polish away surface stains and keep your smile shining.

Rinse After Eating: Can’t brush immediately after every meal? No problem. Rinsing your mouth with water can help remove food particles and minimize stains. It’s like giving your teeth a quick shower.

Regular Dental Checkups: Keeping up with your dental appointments isn’t just about catching up on the latest gossip with your dentist. Regular cleanings can remove plaque and surface stains, helping your whitening results last longer.

Avoid Tobacco: Smoking or using tobacco products is like taking a marker to your newly whitened teeth. For the sake of your smile (and your health), it’s a good idea to quit.
