Bend Dentist: TOP 5 Ways to keep your teeth white

1. Avoid Medications That Stain Teeth: Chlorohexidine mouth wash, Tetracycline, and Doxycycline are the major culprits. Dr DiGiulio, a Bend Dentist states that pregnant women should avoid taking these medications during their second or third trimester. Taking these increases the chance that she may give birth to a child with brite yellow teeth that eventually turn grayish-brown over time. This discoloration is also seen in young children subjected to long term Tetracycline.
2 .Limit coffee and Tea consumption. Bend Family Dentist, Dr DiGiulio reccomends that if you cant limit the amount of coffee and tea than you must increase the amount of brushing you do. Brush after all meals and the consumption of staining beverages.
3. Consider visiting your Dentist Office for Professional whitening. Click for extensive information regarding the technique and costs
4. Use a whitening tooth paste like Arm & Hammer Extra Whitening or Rembrandt whitening strips. Dr DiGiulio from her Bend dental office says that these items can augment a whitening regimen but should not be the only approach taken. For heavy stains a professional product like Zoom Whitening should be considered.
5.Professional cleaning and prophy can help remove stubborn stains. The high speed polisher in the dental clinic can help remove more difficult stains along with the other clening instruments.
