Instructions

• 1

  Brush your teeth more often. Most people brush their teeth twice a day, but if you are finding tea stains on your teeth you will want to increase the number of times you brush. Try brushing three to four times a day and see if you get improved results.

• 2

  Brush your teeth within an hour after drinking tea. If you drink tea at work, keep a toothbrush and a pack of toothpaste at your office.

• 3

  Change your toothpaste to a type that is specifically designed for whitening.

• 4

  Use whitening mouthwash daily. This alone is unlikely to remove the stains, but it is added protection for your teeth.

• 5

  Apply whitening strips to your teeth. You typically need to apply the strips to your teeth twice a day; however, directions vary depending on the brand you use. For more dramatic results, visit the dentist and get your teeth professionally bleached.

• 6

  Schedule a cleaning with your dentist. Your teeth should be cleaned by a dental hygienist once every six months. This will help your teeth maintain a healthy and clean appearance.

• 7

  Use veneers to hide your stains. Veneers are not a permanent solution, but should last for nearly a decade before needing to be replaced.
