What effective measures can someone take to prevent teeth discoloration?
AIn addition to regular cleanings (bi-annual or tri-annual) here are some ways to minimize teeth discoloration: Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables. They are abrasive and in a sense scrub your teeth. Brush your teeth immediately after eating potentially staining foods. If brushing is not possible, try to rinse your mouth thoroughly. Use a straw when drinking high stain potential beverages. The straw will allow the liquid to bypass your front teeth completely. Do NOT brush too strenuously. Over time you will expose the yellowish/bluish dentin which is underneath your enamel.
