People dealing with noticeable dental stains on their teeth will often turn to a dentist like Dr. Sean Ferguson and Dr. Michael Ferguson to have a dental bleaching treatment performed. This represents one of the most effective methods for safely whitening your teeth.
After the cosmetic treatment they might also suggest making some minor lifestyle changes to prevent new dental stains. This often includes drinking dark beverages through a straw, cutting back on certain foods or quitting tobacco use.
Brushing your teeth each morning and night with a toothpaste that has been approved by the American Dental Association and remembering to floss at least once each day will help maintain healthy tooth enamel.
Some people also like to occasionally brush their teeth with a whitening toothpaste. The special hydrogen peroxide used as the primary whitening agent can help eliminate minor dental stains before they worsen. Just be sure that any whitening toothpaste you use has been approved by the ADA for safety and effectiveness.
Your regularly scheduled dental checkups at Ferguson & Associates, DDS are also important for cleaning away minor dental stains as well as monitoring the overall health of your mouth.
