follow up care after the teeth whitening process
Follow-Up Care after the Teeth Whitening Treatment Teeth whitening is not a single, one-time, or a permanent process. If you see yourself eating substantial amounts of teeth-staining food and drink, then your teeth will start staining within a month or so. Even if you avoid such food or drinks, then within a year or thereabouts, you will require a follow-up teeth whitening procedure or at the least, a touch-up. So here are a few tips and tricks that will help you keep your teeth as white as possible for the longest period of time� - Obviously, avoid food and rinks that stain the teeth. Avoid black tea, strong coffee, etc and if you must drink them, then do use a straw. This will pass the liquid directly into the gullet, by-passing the teeth. This way, you can have your cake and eat it too. - Feel free to brush and floss immediately after you consume such beverages and food. Sometimes, that�s not possible. So at very least, rinse and gargle after you consume teeth staining food and beverages. If you are at a restaurant or a party and are unable to gargle, do so the moment you get home. - Daily and regular oral hygiene is critical. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss at least once or better still, twice daily. Not only will you clear the gunk out, you will also keep your teeth white and healthy. - Use a teeth whitening toothpaste once or twice a week - Ask your dentist and follow-up on the touch-up treatments.
