Discoloration – can you prevent it?

Even well-kept teeth can lose their snow-white color over time. The cause is the pigments contained in food. Eliminating all factors causing discoloration could be considered problematic. Statistics show that 90% of the British drink coffee daily, and over 1/4 of the people cannot imagine a day without a cup of tea. It is these popular beverages that have a powerful staining effect. In addition, the consumption of colorful vegetables and fruits, sweets containing artificial dyes, and smoking can also affect the color of teeth. If you don’t want to give up your favorite treats, it doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to unsatisfactory tooth color. The solution is professional teeth whitening in Southampton, which will restore their perfect shade and natural shine.

Regardless of the teeth whitening method, the rules of conduct after the procedure do not differ. First, due to teeth dehydration, the patient should refrain from drinking and eating “colored” products as the teeth may become stained. Therefore, during the first days after the dentist’s clinic procedure, the “white” diet should be followed, choosing light, non-staining products and water instead of tea or coffee. It would help if the patient stopped smoking so that the whitening effect lasts as long as possible.
