Following your teeth whitening treatment, it’s important to take certain precautions to prevent stubborn stains from resurfacing on your teeth. A few examples include:

  • Brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently
  • Eating plain yogurt, white rice, and other light-colored foods
  • Using a straw when drinking pigmented beverages, like coffee
  • Breaking stain-causing habits, like smoking
  • Scheduling a dental cleaning every six months
