Tips for Keeping Teeth White After Dental Whitening

Having a beautiful smile with white and healthy teeth is not a difficult thing to achieve. The development of science and technology in the field of dentistry makes it easier for anyone to realize their dream of having beautiful white teeth, one of which is by performing a dental whitening procedure. The most frequently asked questions to dentists regarding dental whitening are; how long can the results of dental whitening treatment last? The answer is 6 months to 2 years, depending on how you take care of your teeth after dental whitening treatment. In this article, we will discuss the things you should do to keep the results of dental whitening treatment durable.

Considering that the results of dental whitening treatment are not permanent, it is very important for us to know what things we can do to keep our teeth white after dental whitening treatment. Here are some tips to keep your teeth white after dental whitening treatment:

1.Avoid colored foods and drinks

After dental whitening treatment, the pores on the surface of the tooth enamel are still open so the possibility of color being trapped on the tooth surface is also increased. Therefore, dentists usually instruct patients to avoid colored drinks or colored foods for at least 2x24 hours after dental whitening treatment. Some examples of colored foods and drinks that should be avoided include; curry, rawon, balado, rendang, soy sauce, tea, coffee, colored soft drinks, dragon fruit, mango, blueberry, raspberry, and so on.

2.Do not smoke

Similar to colored foods and drinks, the content in cigarette smoke that is formed from burning will cause discoloration of the teeth, especially after dental whitening treatment. Stains from cigarettes are usually brown to black in color, so they will interfere with the appearance of the teeth.

3.Drink using a straw

It is undeniable that most people find it difficult to eliminate the habit of drinking their favorite drinks, including colored drinks. Using a straw can be a solution that you can do so that colored drinks do not come into direct contact with the surface of the front teeth.

4.Rinse after drinking or eating colored foods or drinks

Sometimes we are not aware of eating or drinking colored foods and drinks after dental whitening treatment, the thing you can do if you have already done it is rinsing with mineral water. In addition to reducing the color attachment of food or drink, rinsing can also clean teeth from food debris that sticks to the teeth.

5.Use a toothbrush with soft bristle tips and toothpaste with teeth whitening ingredients

Maintenance that you can do to keep your white teeth is brushing your teeth using a toothbrush with soft bristle tips. This type of toothbrush allows you to clean your teeth better due to the smaller tip size of the soft bristles. Whitening toothpaste can also maintain the white color of your teeth longer.

By doing the tips mentioned above, you can keep your teeth white for a long time, besides that, don't forget to always check your teeth at least every 6 months to the dentist of your choice.
