How to Prevent Teeth Stains

Certain things can help you prevent teeth stains and discoloration, but ultimately you may benefit from cosmetic dentistry such as teeth whitening or porcelain veneers to create a gleaming white smile.

To prevent teeth stains:

  • Brush your teeth and floss every day to remove stain-causing food debris.
  • Drink soda, tea, juice and other staining beverages through a straw.
  • Snack on teeth-cleansing apples or celery instead of processed snacks that may be sugary, sticky or starchy.
  • Rinse your mouth or brush your teeth after eating stain-causing foods, such as tomato sauces, berries and starchy foods.

Also, if you smoke, you should quit. Smoking and tobacco use is not only bad for your gum health and overall health, it also causes severe stains and discoloration on your teeth.

Even with the best oral hygiene routine and careful attention to the tips listed above, you probably cannot achieve a bright, white smile. These things will help you avoid some of the worst tooth stains, but only cosmetic dentistry like teeth whitening can create a dazzling white smile.
