Tips for Whiter Teeth

Your smile is your signature, a way to show others who you are and one of the first things they notice about you.  As the dentist Port Lavaca patients have trusted for their cosmetic dentistry and oral health needs, talk to us about your smile.  There are many ways to compromise your smile throughout the day in your normal routine that you might not even think about.  If you find yourself wishing for whiter teeth you can schedule an appointment with our Port Lavaca dentist and also keep the tips below in mind.

Have a great oral hygiene regimen

The best thing you can do for your mouth is to have a good oral hygiene routine.  Brush your teeth twice each day and floss daily.  Whitening toothpastes can help you maintain white teeth, and our Port Lavaca dentist is happy to talk with you about toothpastes that may work for you.

Watch what you eat

Many liquids stain teeth.  Tea, coffee, and red wine are all known to discolor tooth enamel.  Additionally, foods like berries and cherries can stain your teeth similar to beverages.  Other damaging foods are high in acidity and can wear down your tooth enamel.  To keep your smile bright with whiter teeth our Port Lavaca dentist recommends drinking plenty of water while you consume foods and beverages that compromise your smile.  It also helps to brush and floss as soon as possible once you’re done eating.
