Five Ways to Prevent Tooth Discoloration

June 1, 2015 By HarbourPLaceDental

photo_20Here are 5 simple daily habits that can help you prevent or greatly reduce the chances of discoloring your pearly whites.

1. Rinse Out
Get into the practice of rinsing out your mouth with clear water after drinking or eating. This practice will help dislodge any particles that would stain your teeth. It is especially important to rinse out after consuming dark colas, red wines, coffee, tea and processed foods.

2. Use a Straw
Using a straw to drink liquids is one of the ways to prevent your teeth from getting discolored. When we drink the normal way without straws, the liquid comes into contact with a larger surface area of our teeth, whilst when we drink through a straw that contact is minimized. This therefore reduces the chances of discoloring your teeth.

3. Raw Vegetables and Fruits
You have heard the saying- “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” Well you can bet that it also keeps the dentist away too. Fresh and crisp fruits and vegetables are like natural toothbrushes and help to clean your teeth and mouth. So have a few bites of an apple, celery, carrot or pear after your meals or snacks and reduce the chances of your teeth yellowing.

4. Dental Visits
Paying regular visits to your dentist at least once every 6 months is a great way to catch any dental problems such as tooth discoloration in their infancy before they become a bigger issue. Your dentist will be able to examine your teeth and help you get treatment early.

5. Basic Dental Hygiene
One of the reasons so many people suffer from teeth stains is because they don’t observe basic dental hygiene that could save them heartache and dollars down the road. You ought to be brushing your teeth in the correct manner at least twice a day. Flossing your teeth and using a whitening mouthwash daily provide extra oral health benefits and guarantee a white smile.

Following these tips will normally help in preventing or minimizing teeth discoloration. For more information or consultation please do not hesitate to contact your friendly neighborhood dentists at Harbour Place Dental Mukilteo WA (425-493-8111).
