Teeth Whitening: How to Prevent Stains

In order to achieve near perfect teeth whitening, there are a variety of teeth whitening products and procedures designed to help you obtain those pearly whites you desire. From in-office visits with your dentist to over the counter products, there's something for everyone regardless of the level of whiteness they hope to achieve. In order to maintain white teeth however, it's important to know how to prevent stains from forming in the first place. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to prevent stains and maintain a healthy smile for many years to come.

Products like cigarettes, cola, red wine, coffee and tea stain your teeth horribly and should be moderated if not eliminated completely from your lifestyle. What many people are unaware of is that many antibiotics also cause teeth yellowing. If you notice this happening, schedule an appointment with your dentist to find out what course of action you should take. Whitening toothpastes work to prevent stains from forming, so while you may not notice a significant difference in how white your teeth are you can be content with the knowledge that stains are being prevented.

By taking preventative measures to control stains, there won't really be a need for any teeth whitening products. Combining whitening toothpaste with a healthy diet and moderate or no consumption of teeth staining products will ensure a beautiful, pearly white smile for many years to come. If you're concerned about the whiteness of your teeth, keep these points in mind for a beautiful smile that you can't help but show off.

Antibiotics cause teeth to yellow? I had no idea! And this really cleared some confusion I had about whitening toothpastes. I thought they were supposed to whiten, rather than prevent stains. That makes so much more sense!
