Maintaining a white smile

Maintaining white teeth involves a combination of good oral hygiene, lifestyle choices, and professional dental treatments.

Here are some tips for keeping your teeth at their whitest, and some insights into teeth whitening services that are offered at Brisbane Smile Boutique:

Keeping Your Teeth White

1. Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and stains.

2. Regular Dental Checkups: Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups.

3. Avoid Stain-Causing Foods and Drinks: Beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, and foods like berries can stain teeth.

4. Quit Smoking: Tobacco is a major cause of teeth discolouration.

5. Use Whitening Toothpaste: These may help remove surface stains.

6. Drink Through a Straw: This can minimise contact between staining liquids and your teeth.

Teeth Whitening at Brisbane Smile Boutique

1. Professional In-Clinic Whitening: This typically involves the application of a high-concentration peroxide gel on the teeth, activated by a special light, offering fast and noticeable results. Brisbane Smile Boutique offers Zoom whitening and Pola Whitening.

2. Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits: Dentists can provide custom-fitted trays and professional whitening gel for at-home use.

3. Deep Bleaching: A combination of in-office and at-home treatments for more persistent stains or deeper whitening.

4. Enamel Microabrasion: Sometimes combined with teeth whitening, this procedure can remove superficial stains.

Before opting for any whitening treatment, it’s crucial to consult with your dentist. At Brisbane Smile Boutique, our dentists can recommend the most suitable method based on your teeth’s condition and sensitivity. Also, remember that the effectiveness of whitening treatments can vary based on individual factors like tooth enamel and the type of staining.
