Maintaining white teeth after whitening treatments requires proper daily oral care. CREST offers a range of effective solutions to help you enjoy a bright smile for an extended period. Here are some essential tips and products to incorporate into your dental care routine.
1. Regular Brushing with CREST 3D White Toothpaste
The cornerstone of daily oral hygiene is brushing your teeth twice a day. CREST 3D White toothpaste not only removes surface stains but also prevents new ones from forming. This toothpaste contains active whitening ingredients and fluoride, which strengthen enamel and protect against cavities.
2. Using CREST Mouthwash
CREST mouthwashes are a fantastic addition to your daily oral care regimen. They help eliminate bacteria that can cause bad breath and contribute to staining. Additionally, CREST mouthwashes refresh your breath and support gum health.
3. Daily Flossing with CREST Dental Floss
Daily flossing is crucial for removing food particles and plaque from areas your toothbrush can't reach. CREST dental floss is gentle on the gums and effectively maintains cleanliness between teeth, which is vital for preventing stains and cavities.
4. Avoiding Foods and Drinks that Cause Stains
To maintain whitening results, it’s important to limit the consumption of foods and drinks that can cause stains. Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark fruits can discolor your teeth. If you can't avoid them completely, try rinsing your mouth with water after consumption.
5. Regular Visits to the Dentist
Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health and white teeth. Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that can't be eliminated at home. Your dentist can also provide advice on how to care for your teeth post-whitening.
