Giving up our daily wine, coffee, or favourite pigmented foods to prevent our teeth from discolouration isn’t something we should have to do. There are many ways to prevent your teeth from yellowing—being proactive with our SunnaSmile teeth whitening options will reduce the chance of your smile being anything less brilliant.
In February 2017, it was reported that $1.4 billion is spent annually on both in-studio and at-home teeth whitening kits. And this number only continues to skyrocket as individuals are starting to come to term with the impact your diet has on your dental hygiene and appearance.
We offer a complete range of both in-studio and at-home SunnaSmile teeth whitening options!
What common foods or drinks stain your teeth?
The darker the pigmentation and the higher the acidity, the more likely foods and drinks will stain your teeth. Consuming foods like oranges, grapefruits, lemons, blackberries, or blueberries may all be beneficial to your immune system and weight loss goals, but can be detrimental to your SunnaSmile teeth whitening routine. Citrus fruits including all tomato-based products (such as pasta sauce, hot sauce, and ketchup) can also contribute to the discolouration of your teeth. For many, it’s not the highly pigmented foods that are difficult to give up, but the drinks known to stain teeth! Regularly drinking coffee, red wine, white wine, soda and tea can have long term effects on the enamel of your teeth causing yellowing.
Why does it ruin our teeth?
The texture of our teeth is perceived to be smooth, but there are microscopic pits and ridges that hold onto food and drink particles. When these particles build up over time, they change the colour of your teeth. If appropriate measures of teeth whitening not taken to decrease this process, your teeth can quickly yellow.
Acidic foods can also wear away the enamel, softening it and in extreme cases can lead to demineralization or long-term tooth decay. Once your teeth have been discoloured, there’s no whitening toothpaste strong enough to get your pearly whites back. You have one choice— SunnaSmile professional teeth whitening.
How can teeth whitening help avoid discolouration?
No one wants to stop reaching for their favourite foods and drinks, even if it means sparkling white teeth all the time. You don’t have to choose; you can have white teeth and enjoy your favourite highly staining foods.
There are few simples ways you can prevent the long-term impact of staining foods on a daily basis. Drinking water after your coffee or wine to wash out the particles prone to becoming caught in the pits and ridges of your tooth enamel is one of them. If you forgot your water bottle at home, reaching for some chewing gum can also help accomplish the same thing, neutralizing the PH level of the bacteria surrounding your teeth. Mind you, sugary gum is also not great for your teeth health, so try to choose sugarless brands.
These solutions are easy enough to incorporate into your day but will not reverse the yellowing of your teeth or fully prevent future discolouration. Professional teeth whitening at Elegance Sculpting is easy, efficient and will make you (and your teeth) feel amazing. In addition to the confidence aesthetically pleasing white teeth provide, it also has many health benefits such as helping to prevent gum disease. Teeth whitening removes the debris that is caught in the ridges of your tooth enamel, leaving the cracks of the tooth open for organic debris to fill and fix the colour of your teeth.
