How To Keep Whitened Teeth White

Updated: Jul 15

We’re so pleased you’ve decided to whiten your teeth, and we really hope you’re pleased with the results. Moving forward, we want to give you all the information you need on how to keep your new white smile shining bright. Teeth whitening works so much better if you take the right precautions in keeping them white. Here are your top tips on teeth whitening Teddington from your team here at Kirby Dental.

Cleaning

Cleaning your teeth should be a basic, standard practice by now, and we’re sure you’re well equipped with all the best ways in which you can brush your teeth. Ideally, you should be cleaning your teeth at least twice a day, but after teeth whitening, we recommend cleaning after every meal. This extra effort just helps to ensure that you get rid of those top layers of tannins from foods.

We’d also recommend investing in whitening toothpaste; these are usually formulated with special substances designed to help aid whitening.

Food and Drink

Now, we at

Kirby Dental

love a hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning and a large glass of red just before bed as much as the next person; however, both contain high levels of tannins, which is what causes our teeth to stain. We would never ask you to give these things up completely because what’s life without a good glass of red? However, maybe cutting down on stain-causing beverages or even using a straw where possible could seriously maintain the look of your smile in the long term.

Another recommendation of ours is that you up your intake of crunchy veggies since they usually have high water contents and aid the body’s natural teeth cleansing process when chewing and digesting food.

Taking Care Of Enamel

When we whiten your teeth, sometimes the enamel layer can become a little softened and cause sensitivity, so it’s a good idea to invest in a fluoride mouthwash after teeth whitening Teddington just to boost your body’s natural production of this layer. These mouthwashes are easily accessible online or through the chemist, and if you have any concerns about which one to buy, you can always contact the team at the practice for further advice.

Scale and Polish

Attending regular trips to see the dental hygienist will also help keep those newly whitened teeth white; you don’t need to come all that often; every six months or even once a year will do the trick. When you see the hygienist, they’ll be able to assess you for gum disease alongside your cleaning, which is a bonus. The clean from the hygienist goes above and beyond anything one can achieve on their own at home, making sure you’re free of any build-up that could cause harm to your gum health and stain or discolour your teeth. Beyond this, when they polish your teeth at the end of the treatment, it will really make your teeth shine nice and bright.

Highly recommended. Always get a friendly and professional service here starting with Louise on reception, then the nursing team, Esti the hygienist and finally Keiron now our family dentist. He always takes time to listen to concerns, offer choices and doesn’t push unnecessary treatments. Has a good rapport with the teenagers too!

Brilliant experience during my check-up with Keiron today, who took the time to listen to my concerns and really explain everything in layman’s terms. The lady at reception is also super warm and friendly.I am usually a nervous patient but the professional, personable and thorough service put me at ease today, would highly recommend. Thanks all! X

Such a lovely dental practice to deal with. From Louise who looks after appointments and deals with all my queries to the professional dental team - everybody wants to ensure you have a good experience as possible visiting the dentist and hygenist. Thank you for looking after me so well. Highly recommended

I had a range of dental work done by Saara at Kirby Dental practice. This included root canal, crowns and fillings. Saara has been a brilliant dentist and the results have been excellent. I also used the hygenist service which was the best I have ever had. I would highly recommend Kirby Dental Practice

Been attending Kirby since last year. The staff are all professional, really nice and very good at what they do. I’ve had two of the best teeth cleans of my life here. Both my partner and I have had different hygienists at Kirby’s and we are both very impressed with the attention to detail and gentleness of the cleans.

I have been putting off a fairly routine appt with this dentist for a couple of years now. The lovely, kind Louise or the lovely Yamala makes me an appt. I then usually cancel with some excuse…. Although the last time was genuine… today I managed to pluck up the courage to attend my appt. Being a child of the 60’s and 70’s… my experiences with dentists at that time has left me with a massive phobia! Sara and Anna are amazing. They could see I was very, very nervous and put me at ease. The dental work was done quickly and painlessly. They explained everything. I also had a hygienist appt. Esti, again, is amazing. Everyone was so kind and patient with me. I will be staying with themforever !!!! Thank you to all the lovely ladies who work there. Xx

This was my son's first trip to the dentist and it couldn't have gone any better. We received a warm welcome from the moment we stepped in and Dentist Kieron took his time to make him feel comfortable and spoke in a way that he understood. Very happy with my choice.

Joined Kirby Dental practice last August after long gap in dental visits.Impressed with very efficient initial reviews, treatments and development of agreed action plan, subsequent service involving wisdom removal and periodontology.Always very polite, clear explanations of what is going on and good communications re appointments.Recommended by me.

I've been coming to this practice for nearly two years and have experienced great service by the team. The receptionist, Louise, is really helpful and seems to genuinely care about the patients. The team are also great about following up and checking in after things like extractions or emergency appointments. Highly recommend!

I had an excellent experience with the Kirby Dental Practice in Teddington, no fuss to make an appointment, very professional service, affordable and also can arrange credit if you need to.Cheryl and her helper were there to do the job the least distressful as they could, very conscious of my fears and worries, and The repair of my tooth worked! Very efficient and honest.Thanks so much. I have now a Dental practice I can trust.

Super friendly and high-level service by everyone I've had contact with - Louise on front desk, Prabha the hygienist and Saara the dentist. Nice, clean and easily-accessed practice. Really glad to have joined.

Julia

I was always afraid of the dentist, but Dr Cheryl is so nice and gentle. She has explained everything in great detail! I really recommend Kirby Dental Practice!

This is one of the best practice I have been to. Louise is kind and friendly. Keiron is an amazing dentist who knows what he is doing. It was the most thorough examination I have had and every detail was explained to me. He gave me the options for treatments that I needed clinically and cosmetically which I really appreciate as many practices I have been to in the past would not explain both. Thank you to the team. I will be revisiting for treatment soon.

I recently changed my dentist to Kirby Dental Practice, and I couldn’t be any happier. Everything about the clinic and team makes you feel calm and comfortable. The process of booking is easy, and the initial analysis I had on my teeth was thorough and transparent. Thank you, Dr. Keiron and the team!

Tinny

11:35 07 Nov 23

I'm very anxious when i visit the dentist, but Dr Thompson made me feel at ease and comfortable by talking to me through what was going to happen. He was very calm and patient with me. Would definitely go back for further treatments.

Emma Bellairs

I honestly cannot recommend Kieran and the team at Kirby Dental highly enough. I had some extensive cosmetic dental work done by Kieran and I am over the moon with the results. Kieran is highly professional and knowledgeable whilst also being extremely calm and considerate at all times. It was the most comfortable I’ve ever felt in a dentists chair! Thank you for helping me to smile with confidence again!
