So, you have visited Century Dental in Germantown, MD, for professional teeth whitening, and you would like to ensure your teeth stay as white as possible for as long as possible. How can you make sure that happens?
How Does Teeth Whitening Work in Germantown?
When you have your teeth professionally whitened, we will apply a gel containing hydrogen peroxide to the surface of your teeth. This penetrating gel will break up the molecules that cause tooth discoloration.
It is normal for your teeth to become discolored over time. In just one office visit, your teeth can be significantly whiter with Zoom! teeth whitening. If you are interested in immediate results, this is the treatment for you.
We also offer an at-home, prescription-strength teeth whitening option for you.
What Foods and Drinks Should I Avoid?
Now that you have a beautiful white smile, you want to keep it that way. To do this, be sure to avoid the following:
- Berries
- Beets
- Coffee
- Tea
- Red wine
- Acidic foods or drinks
- Foods containing dyes
Oral Hygiene Tips
If you indulge in one or more of the abovementioned foods or drinks, brush and floss your teeth immediately afterward and drink plenty of water to flush away stains.
You should also avoid using tobacco products, which can easily stain your teeth.
