Teeth generally do restain after any whitening treatments, so controling this will help maintain the white. Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, food with strong colourants i.e curry, and smoking and sugary drinks and snacks. Using a whitening toothpaste can help to control staining, but this will not alter the natural colour of your teeth. Baking soda can work, but can weaken tooth enamel. Visit your dentist and hygienist regularly for check ups and polishing, and brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste.

If you just had your teeth whitened and want to maintain it there are four ways to do it :
1) Get trays and bleaching solution from your dentist and give your teeth a bleaching treatment for a day or two to get your original color back. During this time period and for 48 hours after wards do not eat or drink anything that stains your teeth i.e red wine, coffee, soy sauce, carrot juice etc.
2) use over the counter crest strips once a week or get professional ones from your dental office. Professional ones are longer so they cover more teeth and higher strength.
3) You can use whitening tooth paste like Supersmile. You can also get this from your dentist's office.
4) In terms of over the counter toothpastes the most effective one is Rembrandt white plus which has the same ingredient in it that is used to whiten the teeth.

Don't drink tea or coffee or cola. Basically to keep teeth white is to keep them from getting stained.
