We have the finest Laguna Woods cosmetic dentist team anywhere. They are continually trying to upgrade their knowledge base about procedures like teeth whitening. That way each and every one of our clients gets the latest techniques combined with the most modern innovations.

There are some foods and liquids that cause more discoloration than others. We put together a list of the biggest offenders so you can use them with moderation.

 

Careful with That Curry!

Laguna Woods Cosmetic Dentist Laguna HillsWhen you sit down in your favorite Indian restaurant and order curry, you might be discoloring your teeth. Our dentists often suggest that you enjoy this favorite Indian dish in moderation. When you eat spiced food that has curry in it, we also like to suggest mixing in vegetables and fresh fruits.

 

Beware of Berries!

Antioxidants are one of the health benefits of this food. Unfortunately berries also stain your teeth when you eat enough of them over time. However, there are at least two things you can do to lessen the impact of blueberries and raspberries.

If you don’t let them sit in your mouth for a long period of time, they won’t stain your teeth as badly. Keep a glass of water handy as well. Drink it after you’ve eaten the berries before they’ve had a chance to linger in your mouth and stain your teeth.

The Laguna Woods cosmetic dentist we have on staff is always available to help you. They have years of experience and a vast resource of knowledge to share.

 

Watch Dangerous Drinks!

There is a lot of acidity in some of our favorite drinks which can cause teeth discoloration and stains. Many people know about the staining effects of certain beverages like coffee and tea. However, sports drinks can also cause staining if you overuse them.

 

Get Regular Checkups

Finally, one of the best ways to avoid having stained teeth is to get regular dental checkups. Regular cleanings by our professional hygienists will get to any stains before they become embedded. Having routine consultations with our cosmetic dentistry team will tell you the best methods to avoid staining your teeth in the first place.

Our cosmetic dentistry services are a great way to bring up your smile. We have a bright and welcoming atmosphere and professional and courteous administrative staff. Best of all, our Laguna Woods cosmetic dentist team is always expanding their education to better serve you.
