That does sound like something I'd say, doesn't it?
Next time you go to your dentist, ask his/her advice. Mine came up with the "no drinking for 30 min after brushing" rule. He also advocated a whitening toothpaste, 3x day brushing, and an occasional brushing with regular baking soda.
My dentist is kind of a hippie. He's really big on exhausting home remedies and such before pulling out the big guns. In this case, the big guns are whitening treatments. He said if I was über-paranoid about staining (I'm not) that a professional annual whitening treatment would likely be the most effective. If, however, I was to say...splurge on Crest strips, they would be a once a month treatment AT THE MOST. Preferably once every 3 months, really. (He knows I have a younger brother who uses them weekly. )
But that was the advice MY dentist gave ME...and any sort of medical advice really shouldn't be given second hand, so talk to your own.
