Electric toothbrushes with rotating or oscillating heads can provide more effective plaque removal compared to manual toothbrushes. They can help improve brushing technique and ensure thorough cleaning.
Whitening toothpaste contains mild abrasives that can remove surface stains and help restore the natural whiteness of your teeth. Look for toothpaste with the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval.
Regular flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and along the gumline, where a toothbrush cannot reach. This helps prevent cavities in these areas (which are some of the most common cavities to get…)!
One option is whitening strips, which are thin, flexible strips coated with a whitening gel that you apply to your teeth. They are usually worn for a specified period of time each day for a couple of weeks. Another option is whitening gels that you apply to your teeth using custom-fitted trays. These trays are typically worn for several hours a day or overnight for a couple of week, depending on the product. Whitening products can help lighten stains on both the front and back surfaces of your teeth.
*PRO TIP: The best time to use whitening products is AFTER getting your teeth cleaned professionally!
