Teeth Whitening Tips to Use Between Dental Visits

Teeth Whitening Tips in Charlottesville VA Area

As we get older, our teeth tend to “age” along with us. They are prone to become more discolored as time goes on. Dr. Daniel Bearley at Bearley Dental in Charlottesville, Virginia, can perform a whitening treatment during your annual visit. There are also several teeth whitening tips Dr. Bearley will approve of and taking good care of your teeth will help them always look their best.

Brush and Floss Daily

Brush and floss daily to remove any debris or bacteria that could lead to your enamel being damaged or stained. Brushing and flossing with a suitable toothpaste keep plaque from building up on your teeth. Brushing your teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, is recommended by most dentists. Flossing at least once, especially after eating sticky food, to get rid of any particles stuck between your teeth.

Use a Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

There are many mild teeth whitening toothpaste on the market that are safe and gentle enough to use every day. With regular use, they can slow down, and in some cases, reverse the discoloration of the enamel. If you have questions about which brand of toothpaste is best for your teeth without damaging the sensitive enamel speak to your dentist.

Avoid Harsh Over the Counter Teeth Whitening Products

While using a quality whitening toothpaste is beneficial, many of the over-the-counter teeth whitening products have harsh abrasives that can wear away the delicate enamel. Once the enamel is damaged, it cannot be restored. 

Avoid Foods that Stain Your Teeth

If you want to keep your teeth looking their best, avoid foods and beverages that stain and discolor your teeth. Wine, coffee, chocolate, grapes, beets, and other colorful foods can start to stain your teeth. Cigarettes and certain medications are also known to cause severe discoloration of the enamel of your teeth. While most of the discoloration can be reversed, the damage caused by medication is often permanent.
