At Taylor Street Dental, our\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatsmile.com\/meet-our-dentists.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">experienced dentists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u2014 Dr. Peck, Dr. Tyra, Dr. Greenberg, and Dr. Truong \u2014 have whitened the smiles of countless patients. But maintaining that brightness requires a little extra care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn the best ways to keep your smile white in between treatments. We see patients from Springfield, Longmeadow, Ludlow, Westfield, Boston, Wilburham, Chicopee and Northampton, Massachusetts, as well as Connecticut.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some foods and beverages are notorious for staining your teeth. Coffee, red wine, and berries are common culprits that\u2019ll dull your newly whitened teeth. To minimize staining, try using a straw when you drink dark beverages and rinse your mouth with water afterward. You don\u2019t have to give up your favorite treats entirely \u2013 just enjoy them in moderation and be mindful of their effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Your Teeth Clean<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good oral hygiene is essential for keeping your teeth white. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a whitening toothpaste to remove plaque and surface stains. Don\u2019t forget to floss daily to clean those hard-to-reach areas between your teeth. You\u2019ll also want to schedule regular dental cleanings to prevent stains from setting in and keep your teeth healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quit Smoking<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a smoker, now is a good time to quit. Smoking is a major cause of tooth discoloration (and a host of other dental issues) and can quickly undo the results of your whitening treatment. By quitting, you\u2019ll protect your smile and improve your overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Whitening Touch-Up Products<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use at-home whitening products or touch-up kits to maintain your smile between professional treatments. Consult with your dentist first to make sure you aren\u2019t overusing these treatments, which can make your teeth sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure Long-Lasting Results With Regular Check-Ups<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to keep your smile bright after your in-office whitening with the right habits in place.
