Oftentimes my patients will ask me “what can I do to make my teeth look whiter?” Besides maintaining proper oral hygiene by spending two minutes brushing followed by flossing every morning and night, there are a few tips I recommend to all of my patients.
1. Drink through a straw! Drinking through a straw can prevent staining because it limits the exposure of dark coffee or soda drinks to the teeth.
2. Rinse with water! Brushing immediately after drinking soda can actually be detrimental to the teeth because the acidic content is essentially being brushed into the teeth. Instead, rinse your mouth with water and brush after about an hour.
3. Eat more strawberries! Strawberries contain malic acid which can assist in removing surface stains.
At Braintree Dental Group, we offer in-office Zoom! Whitening. Zoom! is clinically proven to be able to whiten teeth up to eight shades whiter. The procedure is performed after a cleaning and takes about an hour. Call us at (781) 356-1800 to make your next appointment 🙂
