How to Keep Your Teeth White and Bright Through the Holidays




Refresh with Whitening Gel - If you already have professionally made teeth whitening trays, stop by the dental office and pick up a new tube of gel for a quick boost.

Limit Foods that StainCoffee, tea, red wine, and other bright colored foods and drinks are the biggest offenders.

Use a Straw – This protects your tooth enamel by limiting exposure to the staining foods.

Swish with Water – When you do decide to indulge, swish afterwards to rinse your teeth clean.

Chew Sugarless Gum – It will help clean your teeth when you don’t have a toothbrush handy.

Eat Crispy Foods – Foods like apples, carrots, and celery are natural tooth cleaners and brighteners.

Make a Fresh Pot – Some studies show that coffee or tea that has been sitting around for awhile is more likely to cause stains.

Drink Water Regularly – Keep your teeth rinsed clean throughout the day.

Practice Good Oral Hygiene – Nothing beats brushing, flossing, and rinsing after eating risky foods.

Do Not Smoke – Stained teeth is just one of many reasons to stop smoking.
