When your teeth are stained, you can typically erase the blemishes and brighten your smile’s appearance with professional teeth-whitening treatment. Since most types of teeth stains develop on the surfaces of your teeth, they can be quickly and conveniently erased. However, they can also reappear over time, even after you’ve brightened your teeth with professional treatment. To help you keep your smile as bright as possible, we offer a few tips for making the results of your teeth-whitening last longer.
The Thing About Teeth-Stains
There are several different types of teeth stains that can affect your smile. The most common are known as extrinsic stains that appear on the surfaces of your teeth. They can develop naturally from exposure to things like food and beverages even when you take excellent care of your teeth. Fortunately, extrinsic stains don’t always mean that your teeth decaying or in trouble. However, they can significantly affect your smile’s appearance, and therefore, your self-confidence.
Tips to Keep Your Smile Bright
If stains have already developed on your teeth, then the best way to erase them will likely be with professional teeth-whitening. If they haven’t, or if you’ve recently received teeth-whitening, then you can keep stains at bay longer by keeping a consistently good dental hygiene routine and schedule of preventive dental visits. Through proper prevention, you can remove staining agents form your teeth to make it harder for them to affect their color.
