Tips for Keeping Your Teeth Stain-Free

Dr. Pirooz Zomorrodi of Advance Family Dental Care in Naperville, IL, helps your whole family stay healthy with great oral care. If you're concerned about the shade of your smile in the 60563 zip code, here are some tips from your dentist on staying stain-free.

Everyone wants to present their best smile, but some of the things we enjoy can be bad for our teeth and lead to staining. Use of any tobacco products can lead to staining, and your dentist will recommend quitting to lower your risk of oral cancer. If you've quit smoking, think about treating yourself to a teeth whitening treatment in our Naperville, IL, office.

There are some drinks that can stain the teeth if consumed often, like:

  • Coffee
  • Tea
  • Soda
  • Wine
  • Sports drinks
  • Dark berry juices

Some foods can also stain teeth, for example:

  • Beets
  • Berries
  • Hard candy
  • Tomato sauce or ketchup
  • Soy sauce

It's best to have these foods and drinks moderately and enjoy them with water to rinse your teeth.

Of course, regular brushing and flossing are essential to a great oral health routine. Your dentist will recommend brushing for two minutes twice a day and flossing at least once a day. This helps remove plaque to prevent tooth decay and staining of the teeth. Eating a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables can actually help clean your teeth while you eat.

If you want a brighter smile, consider a professional teeth whitening treatment. Many of our patients have tried drugstore products to whiten their teeth and these produce mixed results at best. These kits are actually easy to misuse and can damage your gums. At a teeth whitening appointment, your gums are protected and your teeth are monitored by a dental professional the entire time.

Advance Family Dental Care wants to help you present your best smile. Be careful what you eat and drink, and come see Dr. Zomorrodi for a teeth whitening treatment! Contact us for an appointment in Naperville, IL, at (630) 357-2332.
