Receiving teeth whitening from a Cedar Park dentist can be one of the fastest and easiest ways to improve your smile.  A professional teeth-whitening session can be done in less than an hour – usually within the span of a lunch break – and will immediately pay off with brighter, whiter teeth.

Teeth Whitening | Reveal DentalCedar Park teeth whitening is the best and fastest way to remove years of stains from your teeth.  However, it’s not permanent.  It really is just a cleaning, and your teeth can become stained again.  Think of teeth whitening as a new start, and then you can extend its effects by some simple lifestyle changes.

How To Keep Your Teeth White After A Cedar Park Teeth Whitening

  1. Avoid foods that stain

Any food with particularly dark brown or red coloration is likely to stain your teeth.  Beets, soy sauce, turmeric, balsamic vinegar…  there are a lot of possibilities, and each one will add a little more stain.  If you can’t avoid eating foods like these, try eating some cheese before the meal.  The oils in the cheese will coat your teeth and help prevent staining.

  1. Avoid coffee, tea, and colas

There’s probably no worse substance for staining teeth than coffee, and colas aren’t far behind.  These contain acids that can eat away at your enamel, and staining colors that tend to stick.  Some teas do this as well, but only darker teas.

If you must drink them, use a straw so that the liquid bypasses your front teeth.  And never swish the liquid around in your mouth; that just adds to the staining.

  1. Never use tobacco products

There are so many reasons not to smoke or use chewing tobacco.  The fact that they can stain your teeth is only one.

  1. Rinse your mouth after every meal

Even if you don’t have time to brush, at least rinse out your mouth with water after a meal.  This will do a lot to remove any residue on your teeth before it stains.

  1. Never use off-the-shelf teeth whiteners 

DIY teeth whitening setups are very bad for your teeth.  They strip away the enamel, leaving teeth more likely to become diseased or damaged – and more likely to become stained again, as well.
