WhiteWash Professional Whitening Strips are great as a whitening treatment in their own right and are also effective for topping up if you have had whitening treatments in the past. Unfortunately a white smile doesn’t last forever and, as with all whitening treatments, you will need to repeat the whitening process in the future.
If you want to do a repeat course of whitening treatment you must visit your dentist because they will give you more detailed information about the colour of your teeth, your suitability for whitening treatment, and they can prescribe you your new course of WhiteWash Professional Whitening Strips – as a general guide however, to maintain your white smile you can use a course of WhiteWash Professional Whitening Strips every 12-18 months.
Alternatively, you can use 1-2 strips on a monthly basis to keep topping up your white smile, or if you have an occassion coming up where you want your smile to be that extra bit whiter!
You can help to prevent the build-up of stains on your teeth by having a good daily dental routine. You can also use whitening toothpastes to help remove stains and prevent stain build-up. As well as helping to maintain healthy teeth and gums, routine visits to the dentist will also help to prevent stain build-up and will therefore help keep your teeth white.
Asides from oral hygiene, the 2 main factors that will help you to maintain your white smile are your personal diertary and smoking habits. The foods you eat and the drinks you drink can both play a large role in reducing the whiteness of your teeth. To keep your smile whiter for longer it is best to avoid smoking and consuming strong coloured food / drinks that stain your teeth, such as such as curry, coffee, red wine etc.
