Brush (and floss) with consistency

Daily brushing and flossing remove plaque before it hardens and stains. Aim for two minutes, twice a day, and floss once daily.
If you’re unsure about technique, here’s a helpful
brushing tutorial.

Use a whitening toothpaste wisely

Whitening toothpastes can gently lift surface stains. Look for options with gentle polishing agents and follow the label.

Rinse after stain-causing foods & drinks

Coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and curry can leave pigments behind. If you can’t brush, swish with water to reduce stain time.

Use a reusable water bottle to rinse on the go.
Try drinking dark beverages through a straw.
Wait ~30 minutes before brushing after acidic drinks.

Schedule regular cleanings

Professional cleanings remove tartar and deep buildup that at-home care can’t. Routine visits also spot issues early.

Consider safe whitening treatments

From whitening strips to custom trays, choose treatments with proven ingredients and follow directions. If you have sensitivity,
talk to your dentist first.
