A Brighter Smile Starts With Good Oral Health

You’ve had your teeth professionally whitened and love how fresh they look. Now comes the everyday part: taking care of your smile.

Whitening can change the colour of natural teeth, but it doesn’t prevent plaque, tartar or new surface stains from developing. That’s why maintaining your regular oral health routine is just as important after whitening as it was before.

Keep Up With the Basics

Brushing twice a day and cleaning between your teeth each day helps remove plaque and food debris. What you eat and drink can make a difference too. Coffee, tea, red wine and other strongly coloured foods and drinks may gradually stain teeth again.

It can also help to rinse your mouth with water after consuming foods or drinks that are more likely to stain. Staying consistent with your home-care routine is usually more useful than trying to compensate later with overly aggressive brushing, which can be hard on teeth and gums.

Regular dental visits are another piece of the puzzle. Your dental team can monitor the health of your teeth and gums, professionally remove plaque and tartar, and let you know when a whitening touch-up may be appropriate.

A Little Extra Reason to Smile

If you’ve been considering professional teeth whitening, there’s currently an added incentive. From 1 September to 30 November 2026, eligible patients who have Philips Zoom! in-chair professional teeth whitening can redeem a complimentary Philips Sonicare 2100 electric toothbrush from Philips. Claims must be submitted by 31 December 2026, and terms and conditions apply.

A Sonicare toothbrush can also become part of your ongoing home-care routine, helping you stay consistent with daily brushing after your whitening treatment. It’s a practical way to connect a brighter smile with the habits that help you care for it every day.
