Teeth whitening is an easy and affordable treatment to keep your smile looking bright and youthful. Once you have a professional treatment with KöR whitening at our Paoli, PA, dental office, we recommend the following steps to maintain your beautiful results.
- Avoid staining foods and drinks: This might sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how quickly foods with strong colors like blackberries, blueberries, or beets can stain your pearly whites. Additionally, coffee, dark tea, red wine, and colas are notorious for staining teeth, so keep your consumption to a minimum.
- Don’t smoke: Smoking or using tobacco products leaves ugly hard-to-remove stains on your teeth and is bad for your oral health in general.
- Use whitening toothpaste: A good way to remove very light surface stains to maintain your bright smile is the regular use of whitening toothpaste. Look for products that whiten your teeth and strengthen your tooth enamel.
- Do monthly at-home touchups: With KöR whitening, you’ll receive a custom tray and supply of whitening gel so you can perform monthly touchups to maintain brilliant results.
- Schedule regular teeth cleanings: One of the best ways to keep your smile white and healthy is to see your hygienist for routine teeth cleanings. These visits protect your gum health and remove plaque and tartar buildup for brighter, whiter teeth.
