newly whitened smileYour newly whitened teeth may be affected by exposure to foods, drinks (especially coffee, tea, colas and red wine) and tobacco, which means your teeth will gradually get dark. But, you may maintain your pearly white smile with little effort by following the next steps:

  • Use a whitening toothpaste to remove surface stains and prevent yellowing
  • Brush or rinse immediately after consuming stain-causing beverages or foods
  • Use a straw to drink beverages that stain, such as coffee, tea, colas and red wine
  • Wear a bright shade of lipstick-blue or pink based. It will make your teeth appear whiter. Avoid orange or brown shades
  • Check whether you need a touch up. Depending upon the whitening method you used, you may need a touch up in six months or after a
    year or two. If you smoke or drink a lot of coffee, you may need a touch up more often.

When done well, teeth whitening can last for five years if the patient avoids things that overly stain teeth such as coffee and smoking. Touch-ups to teeth whitening are recommended.
