If you have had your teeth professionally whitened this year with one of our Take-Home Teeth Whitening kits or In-Chair Teeth Whitening you’re going to want to note down the below tips to keep that smile bright and white.

Tip 1: Diet

If you are wanting to keep that perfectly white smile you will have to avoid certain foods and drinks such as;

• Tea & Coffee
• Wine
• Dark sauces – Red pasta sauce, Soy sauce, BBQ sauce.
• High acidic foods – oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits.
• Dark Chocolate

All the above foods and drinks will stain your teeth or weaken your enamel. So, if you are wanting to keep the bright white smile make sure to avoid them where possible.

Tip 2: Maintain an oral health routine

This step cannot be stressed enough!

By brushing twice, a day and flossing regularly will keep your smile looking brighter for longer. With regular brushing, you will remove stains and discolouration on your teeth giving you the white smile for longer, not to mention the overall oral health benefits in the long run.

Tip 3: Regular Dental Check-ups 

The best way to keep your white smile is to see us regularly, there is nothing like a professional clean to keep your smile looking bright and white. However over time, unfortunately, the smile will fade and at that point don’t hesitate to book in with your 1300SMILES Dentist for a touch-up. To get the refresh just ask us about our Take-Home and In-Chair whitening options.

If you follow the above tips you will maintain that bright white smile for longer.
