How to Maintain Your Teeth Whitening Results

Philips Zoom teeth whitening is proven to give you the bright and beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. But if you want to keep your teeth looking their best, it’s important to take the necessary steps to ensure your results last.

 Here are some tips on how to maintain the results of your teeth bleaching treatment:

1. Avoid certain foods and drinks

Even the healthiest enamel can absorb color from certain foods and drinks, which can take a toll on the color and appearance of your smile. If you want your teeth whitening results to last, then you should remove or limit these items from your diet: 

• Red wine
• Tea and coffee
• Sports drinks
• Dark sodas
• Berries and jams
• Tomato sauce, soy sauce and other dark condiments

2. Improve your oral care regimen

If you have invested time and money to get an in-office teeth bleaching, then you want to make sure that you get the most out of your treatment. This means brushing at least twice a day, or after each meal.

 Flossing is also a crucial part of any good oral regime. Floss at least twice a day before brushing to keep your smile looking its best.

There are some foods that can protect your teeth by cleaning them and encouraging your mouth to produce more saliva, such as celery and apples. This chewing action helps scrape tartar off your teeth while the excess saliva will neutralize acids that break down enamel and leave your teeth more susceptible to stains.

4. Stop smoking

One of the best things you can do, both for your health and smile, is to stop smoking. It only takes a few months of smoking for nicotine and tar to stain your teeth yellow. After several years of heavy smoking, your teeth can even turn a brownish color.

Of course, there are even more serious consequences of smoking than just stained teeth. It also increases your risk of:

• Gum infections
• Oral cancer
• Plaque
• Gum disease
