You can typically eat normally right after your teeth whitening treatment!
While it's best to avoid certain foods and drinks that can stain your teeth for a few hours after treatment, you can generally enjoy your regular diet without any issues.
Here are some things to consider:
- Sensitivity: Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity after teeth whitening. If this happens, it's a good idea to stick to softer foods and avoid anything too hot, cold, or acidic for the first few hours.
- Staining: While the whitening gel removes stains, your teeth are more vulnerable to re-staining immediately after treatment. It's best to avoid highly pigmented foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries for at least 24 hours.
- Instructions: Your dentist or hygienist will provide you with specific instructions for post-whitening care. Make sure to follow their advice closely to ensure the best results.
Remember, always consult with your dentist or dental professional for personalized advice and recommendations.
