Drinking water after coffee or wine, using a straw for stain-causing drinks, and eating crunchy fruits and vegetables can help. Whitening toothpaste and over-the-counter whitening strips can also provide subtle touch-ups between professional treatments. Talk with our team about safe options that fit your lifestyle and keep your smile glowing.

If you notice persistent dry mouth, it’s important to talk with your dentist. We can recommend treatments and strategies to restore balance and protect your smile at The Smile Studio.

Instead, opt for water, crunchy fruits, and dairy products that strengthen enamel while keeping your smile bright. A few small swaps can make a big difference in the longevity of your dental work.
