What should I avoid eating or drinking after my teeth whitening treatment?

Doctor's Answer

In general, you should avoid eating or drinking anything that would stain a white shirt for 24-48 hours after a professional teeth whitening procedure is performed for you by your dentist.

Examples of things to avoid include but are not limited to:

1. Smoking

2. Dark Coffees and Teas

3. Dark Sauces

4. Red Wine

5. Beetroot

6. Curries

Do note that it is best that you get your teeth whitened by a licensed dentist in a registered dental clinic, rather than by a beautician, beauty therapist or beauty technician done in a spa or beauty parlour.
