Nobody gets excited about seeing their smile in the mirror and realizing that instead of looking beautifully white, it’s discolored. We know: When you notice even the slightest hint of yellowing or darkening, it causes you to worry. What you may not realize is that the discoloration you see is usually the result of stains, which we can both address and help you prevent. Since the key details in how to handle all of this may be new to you, our Virginia Beach, VA team would love to take you through what you can do to make things better, so you can look forward to and keep a white smile.
Get Rid Of Old Ones
Let’s start by assuming that you’re experiencing some amount of discoloration. If so, you have smile stains. What can you do about them, so you see a white smile again when you look in the mirror, you ask? To begin, you will need cosmetic care. However, did you know that there is more than one way to approach your stains? If they’re mild to moderate, we can remove them with teeth whitening. If you have those that are harder to treat or that are intrinsic, then we can still help! This may require bonding or veneers, both of which yield lovely results.
Prevent New Ones
Great! You have visited our team for care and you now see a white smile when you look in the mirror. You want this to continue, so you ask us: How to keep teeth white? Generally speaking, it’s all about your preventive care. Brushing and flossing are what remove plaque and staining particles from your teeth, so you should be following the same maintenance we also suggest for you! Cleanings and checkups with us are equally necessary.
Take Extra Steps For Stain Prevention
Yes, beyond the prevention we always suggest for you and your white smile, there are some additional steps that will absolutely help you retain that vibrancy:
- Watch out for the amount of staining foods you’re eating. The more you eat, the greater your chance of experiencing stains.
- When you eat or drink anything, particularly if it’s staining, follow it with water to rinse teeth clean.
