Retaining the Effects of Teeth Whitening

Treatment

Don’t let your money go to waste. If you underwent a teeth whitening treatment, whether it may be an at-home or professional treatment, to maximize the results and make it longer lasting, you can follow the tips below.

Avoid causes of teeth discoloration

It’s what made you need teeth whitening in the first place so please don’t resume your bad habits. Avoid excessive smoking, caffeine and soda intake. Beware of unclean water because excessive fluoride ingestion may lead to teeth discoloration.
Brush your teeth regularly...

Really.

It may not seem so and you may be allergic to normal dental hygiene habits but unless you want to cough up hundreds of dollars once more for teeth whitening treatments, do brush your teeth regularly. And no, twice a day doesn’t quite cut it. And while you’re at it, make sure that you’re using whitening toothpaste to continue the treatment. The whitening toothpaste however must be given the stamp of approval by your dentist so don’t forget to ask for your dentist’s opinion.

Flossing

Next to brushing your teeth, flossing is an equally important habit to pick up if you haven’t heard of it pre-teeth-whitening-treatment-days. Flossing can clean out parts of the teeth that a toothbrush isn’t able to reach. Of course, don’t forget common courtesy or etiquette rules and start flossing in a public place. Flossing is still a toilet activity so please keep this private. Having undergone a teeth whitening treatment is still no excuse.

Antiseptic Mouthwash

Yes, it’s almost like buying a facial kit for yourself. If the face needs a hypoallergenic wash, a toner and a moisturizer, the needs of your teeth is equally demanding. To maximize the results of your teeth whitening, you need a toothbrush (and not just any toothbrush mind you), a good floss product and as mentioned, an antiseptic mouthwash. Use this when rinsing and do so regularly.

Whitening strips

Did you think the completion of your dental kit stops with the mouthwash? Aww..if you could be that lucky. But you’re not and don’t you dare complain because if you want that megawatt smile to be yours, complete your dental kit and use them religiously the way Muslims are so strict when it comes to their prayers (don’t you find it remarkable how they always know where the east is?). Whitening strips should be used twice a day.

Now that you know what can help retain the results of your teeth whitening treatment, you’re definitely much closer to possessing your very own sunshine smile. And no cheating when it comes to your dental hygiene regimen, okay?
