And some of us seem to always have coffee stains marring our (what should be) pearly whites, even with constant brushing, flossing, and purchasing of whitening toothpaste. If this latter category is you, keep reading. These four whitening tips can help you conquer your staining frustrations and empower your teeth to keep that coveted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claybrookedental.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">Hollywood shine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First, Consult with Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular at-home cleanings aren\u2019t going to be enough to keep your teeth completely spot-free. While good for working off everyday tint, you and your toothbrush are somewhat limited. Your dentist, on the other hand, has stronger equipment capable of removing more stubborn blemishes. It\u2019s important to visit your dental office every six months so they can help you maintain your oral hygiene and your sparkly smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not all, though. Your dentist has another tool that\u2019s more powerful than commercial products \u2013 teeth whitening treatment. Smudges are no match for in-office whitening lasers or professional-grade take-home kits! After tidying up your teeth to a dazzling gleam, you\u2019ll be free to focus more on preventative care and routine checkups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second, Check Your Dental Cleaning Technique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even Hollywood stars (or patients who recently whitened their teeth to Hollywood status) experience some staining from common dental activities. This is why dentists recommend brushing and flossing every day. However, a good cleaning technique is just as important as the cleaning itself. To maintain your pearly whites, follow these common suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>When you brush, brush for a full 2 minutes twice a day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hold your brush at a 45 degree angle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brush every surface of your teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember to clean your tongue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider rinsing with mouthwash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist can also offer some personalized tips and tricks to ensure you\u2019re polishing as effectively as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third, Mitigate Yellowing by Avoiding Staining Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an unfortunate fact that coffee (and other colored drinks) will yellow out your pearlescent shine. Dark, juicy foods or foods with strong colors such as berries, tomato sauce, and curry will cause discoloration just as much as wines and sodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there are ways to mitigate annoying staining effects without completely cutting out your favorite treats. Straws will help reduce contact with blemishing liquids, while a good warm water rinse after eating will help clear out discoloring foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fourth, Help Your Teeth Protect Themselves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Empowering the layer of protection your teeth already possess can also help defend against stains. Fluoride strengthens enamel and can be found in most toothpastes. Calcium, another fortifying substance, can be supplemented through foods like yogurt and cheese. Simply swapping out your morning berries for yogurt will go a long way toward keeping your teeth fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to have miraculous genetics or major surgery to achieve a flawless smile. If yellowy splotches are ruining your mood, ask your dentist about teeth whitening treatment and other ways to improve your teeth\u2019s pearly sheen. With some trays and a little routine maintenance, you can say \u201cgoodbye\u201d to dental stains and \u201chello\u201d to truly white teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Drs.
