How to Maintain a Whiter Smile After Whitening

You’ve invested in a fresh, brighter smile — now let’s keep it that way. Teeth whitening can produce stunning results, but lifestyle and habits play a major role in how long those results last.

1. Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks (Especially in the First 48 Hours)

Right after whitening, your teeth are more porous and vulnerable to stains. Avoid:

2. Use a Whitening Toothpaste

Using a gentle whitening toothpaste helps maintain brightness between treatments. Look for fluoride-enriched formulas that polish without damaging enamel.

3. Book Touch-Up Treatments

At High On Smile, we recommend 6-week touch-up appointments to keep your smile glowing. This helps remove any surface stains that may have built up over time.

4. Drink Through a Straw

This small habit can help reduce contact between dark liquids (coffee, tea, juices) and your enamel.

5. Brush and Floss Regularly

Consistent oral hygiene keeps plaque buildup at bay — a key culprit in discoloration.

Pro Tip: Consider a professional clean before your whitening session to maximise results.

Your smile is an investment in your confidence. With just a little aftercare, you can enjoy long-lasting results.
