Whitening teeth at home with good oral hygiene

In between your teeth whitening treatments it is important to keep your teeth clean and steer clear of staining agents at home wherever possible.

What can cause your teeth to stain?

There are a number of foods, drinks and lifestyle factors that can affect how long your teeth stay white. Here is a short list of the most common causes behind discolouration.

Staining agents that can cause your teeth to change colour:

• Tea
• Wine
• Coffee
• Cigarettes
• Blueberries
• Deep coloured drinks

Think of your teeth as a white T-shirt. If food, drinks and lifestyle can stain a white T-shirt, it can probably stain your teeth too. Through the use of our effective teeth whitening products, we may be able to provide you with a beautiful, pearly white smile, in convenience and comfort.

How do you keep your teeth clean between teeth whitening treatments?

The best thing to do is make sure you brush your teeth twice a day for 2 minutes each time and floss once a day. The best way to brush is to use a soft bristled brush, point it at a 45 degree angle towards the gums and brush in a circular motion at that angle.

How do regular check-ups help to keep your teeth white?

You should also make sure you take the time to attend regular check-ups every 6 months. During your check-up your dentist will likely scale, clean and polish your teeth. Regular check-ups help to remove all the plaque and build-up that can be missed during regular brushing and flossing. This may be able to brighten the shade of the teeth so they appear whiter.

Can all teeth discolouration be resolved with teeth whitening?

Not necessarily. In some circumstances the discolouration may be caused by an infected tooth root, trauma, decay or a number of other contributors. During your consultation, our team will assess your smile and provide you with the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.
