A dental cleaning is advised at least once every six months. This frequency will depend on your specific demands and dental health state. People at a higher risk of gum disease, for example, may benefit from more frequent cleanings. It is critical to consult with your dentist about the optimum schedule for you.

Call your dentist immediately and schedule an appointment within the hour. The sooner you get to see your dentist, the higher the chances that they’ll be able to recover your tooth and fix the issue.

The longevity of your teeth whitening results depend on how you care for your teeth after treatment. To keep teeth white and bright it is important to avoid consuming staining beverages and foods when possible. If you drink coffee, have a glass of red wine, or eat dark barriers, you can help prevent stains from forming by rinsing your mouth or brushing soon after consumption. Use of Tobacco products is another habit that can create tooth discoloration, so you may want to consider quitting, cutting back, or using non-staining nicotine-based products instead. Also, our dentists at Allwood Dental in Abbotsford may be able to provide you with professional at-home whitening gel and custom trays to use as needed.
