Brush your teeth and then

floss while you still have

toothpaste in your mouth.

This helps get the

toothpaste into those hard

to reach places and

reduce the risk of staining

in between your teeth.

Rinse after eating or drinking.

Just a quick swish with water

can make a huge difference in

keeping your smile whiter and

also decreases the risk of

developing cavities.

If it can stain your clothes, it can stain your teeth. You

know the offenders: red wine, blueberries, brightly

colored popsicles…anything you would immediately

rinse off your clothes before a stain sets in, also

pertains to cleaning off your teeth.

Get a straw when drinking dark sodas or iced tea.

Using a straw will help keep the offending stains off

your front teeth.

Hot beverages are more likely to

stain. Microscopic cracks in our teeth expand and contract with

extreme temperatures making

them more susceptible to

staining. Refrain from drinking

coffee or tea while it’s still piping

hot. Also, consider adding milk

to lighten the color.

Tobacco is a big no. It’s the biggest offender of

them all. Snuff, cigars, cigarettes and pipes, all

coat teeth with a thick yellow-brown stain that

requires professional cleaning from our hygienists

to remove.
