To keep your smile bright and white you may want to avoid stain-causing foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, wine, colored drinks, berries, and tomato sauces and if you consume such items you may need to do a touch-up whitening treatment a couple of times a year to keep your desired whiteness. Smoking also causes tooth discoloration.
