5 Ways to Make Your Professional Teeth Whitening Results Last
Congratulations! You’ve just completed a professional teeth whitening treatment at Veda Family Dentistry, and your smile is bright and beautiful. Now, how do you keep it that way? Protecting your investment is easy with a few simple habits.
Immediate Aftercare and Daily Habits
The first 48 hours after whitening are the most critical, as your teeth are slightly more porous. During this time, it's best to avoid common staining foods and drinks. This includes coffee, tea, red wine, dark sodas, and berries. After this initial period, you don't have to give them up forever! A great tip is to drink dark beverages with a straw, which helps the liquid bypass the front surfaces of your teeth.
Long-Term Maintenance for a Brilliant Smile
Another simple yet powerful habit is to rinse your mouth with water after eating or drinking. This helps wash away staining compounds before they have a chance to settle on your enamel. Of course, maintaining excellent daily hygiene by brushing and flossing is essential. Finally, for long-term maintenance, use your custom take-home tray for a scheduled touch-up every few months as recommended by Dr. Priya.
