You need to visit a dentist for teeth cleaning by a procedure called as ultrasonic scaling. Post operative maintenance by meticulous brushing as per the technique explained by the dentist will help in maintaining the results in the long run. Cleaning your tongue regularly with your toothbrush only is also essential.
And equally important is the fact that you need to maintain a good level of hydration in the body.
