How your dentist in North Syracuse, New York can help you enjoy a white smile.

There are things you can do, and things you shouldn’t do, in order to keep your smile white. How often you brush and floss, and how often you visit your dentist for a professional dental cleaning play important roles in how white your smile will be.

Dr. Inderpreet Atwal of Atwal Dental Care in North Syracuse, New York offers comprehensive dental care services, including professional teeth whitening treatments to help you enjoy a white smile.

Let’s take a look at some of the do’s and don’ts of keeping your smile white.

First, the things you should try to avoid:

• Don’t use tobacco products; this includes smoking cigarettes, pipes, or cigars. It also includes chewing smokeless tobacco. Any of these can give you a dark smile.
• Don’t drink coffee, tea, or red wine; you can drink white wine instead of red. If you must drink coffee or tea, try to brush afterward, or at least rinse your mouth out.
• The same goes for darkly-pigmented foods like blueberries; they are good for you, but remember to brush or rinse your mouth out after you eat them.

Now, for the things you SHOULD do:

Drink your beverages using a straw, so the pigmented beverage stays off of your teeth as much as possible.

Be sure to brush your teeth after you eat, and before you go to bed. Try to brush after eating foods that will stain your teeth.

Floss every day.

Visit your dentist for a professional teeth cleaning appointment at least every six months. Your dental care professional can clean away stains that you and your toothbrush can’t.

Talk with your dentist about a professional teeth whitening treatment. Professional teeth whitening allows you to:

• Whiten your teeth up to 8 shades
• Enjoy your amazing results for up to 5 years
• Whiten safely, because all products and methods are approved by the American Dental Association.
