A bright white smile can do wonders for your confident. That is the major reason why over 14% of the American population rush to the dentist for professional dental whitening treatments. Below are some of the teeth whitening tips that can help you keep pearly white teeth:
Whitening Toothpaste
Although Cooley Smiles can offer you professional teeth whitening services, it is also important you take care of your teeth while at home. There are many tooth whitening toothpastes that come with tiny granules that can gently scrub your teeth white. Some products also contain hydrogen peroxide which can help bleach away the stains.
You can ask Aaron Cooley, DDS and Brandon Cooley, DDS to recommend you a whitening toothpaste.
Enamel Protection
If your enamel is weak and porous, it will allow not just stains to stick to your teeth but will also show the gray dentin beneath. If you have weak enamel, whitening procedure will not work well with you.
In order to protect and strengthen your enamel, you should use fluoride toothpaste that can remineralize the hard enamel layer, give you a whiter smile, and improve your oral health.
Crunchy Fruit and Vegetables
Fibrous fruit and vegetables like celery, carrots, and apples are natural abrasives. If you eat these foods regularly, they will naturally scrub your teeth, reduce stains, and keep your teeth whiter for longer.
Calcium
We know that calcium is very important for your bones. Food that is high in calcium like milk, cheese, and yoghurt can help your enamel stay strong and keep your teeth white. In addition, harder cheeses can also help remove surface stains from your teeth.
Teeth whitening is not a permanent procedure. Therefore, it is important that you take care to keep your teeth bright in between your professional teeth whitening visits. To schedule a teeth whitening procedure, call us today at (425) 249-3509.
