So what can you do to keep your teeth glowing white? Here are some easy to

follow tips:

Avoid Foods That Stain Teeth — Foods with lots of pigment such as soy

sauce, balsamic vinegar, most varieties of berries, cherries, and curry will stain teeth.

If these cannot be completely avoided, it is recommended to brush your teeth as

soon as possible after eating these foods.

Drink Water — You can help prevent stains to your teeth by swishing a

mouthful of water around immediately after eating or drinking a staining beverage.

This also helps to keep breath fresh..

Use a Straw — Coffee, Red wine, Colas and other dark soft drinks, teas, and

cranberry juice can cause staining. Using a straw for these drinks will allow the

staining liquid to bypass the front teeth.

Eat Crunchy Foods — Celery, apples, and other crunchy foods will remove

food particles in your teeth and help to prevent stains. Sticky foods are more likely

to cause staining.

Brush Your Teeth The Right Way — Brushing your teeth is essential for

good oral hygiene. It also helps to remove plaque and keep your teeth white.

Here are some tips for getting the most out of brushing:

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day

• Use a whitening toothpaste

• Use a soft bristle brush

• Use an electric toothbrush if possible

• Brush thoroughly in a gentle circular action

• Brush where the gums meet your teeth

• Replace your toothbrush every three months

• Don't brush too hard!

• Floss (and see a dentist regularly!)

At Bradshaw Family Dentistry, we believe in building

long-term relationships with our patients through

leading edge dentistry and a genuine expression of

caring for them and their families. We invite you to

experience that level of care first-hand.
