Keeping your Smile White
Ah Tea. A Dentist's nemesis when it comes to bleaching. Try the following:
If possible use a straw- I know, with hot tea this is impossible, but try to drink it lukewarm or iced.
Brush immediately after "staining" food such as tea, berries, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar etc. or if that is not possible, rinse your mouth with water immediately after drinking your tea.
No smoking please.

Bleaching Teeth and Keeping them white
Professional trays for home use are your best option. You can use these as often as your dentist recommends

We use hard trays that have a reservoir on the teeth to allow more solution to stay on the teeth and trim the tray back to the gumline. The hard...
