Teeth bleaching (or teeth whitening) not only improve the appearance of your smile but also make a great contribution to your self-confidence. When deciding on this procedure, you should not forget that your teeth are extra sensitive to staining and discoloration after the application.

Especially during the first 2 days following the teeth whitening application, you have to be very careful about what you eat and drink. Because what you do in this process will directly affect the results of the application.

Here are some of the things you need to consider to get the most out of teeth bleaching treatment.
 

There are different types of foods that you should avoid after whitening your teeth. Tomato sauce, pasta sauce, spices, candies, fruits, and chocolates are the main things on this list. You can remind yourself: A food that can stain your white shirt will also stain your teeth!
 

Like many people, you may have drinks such as tea, coffee, and red wine in your daily routine. Consuming a lot of colored drinks can cause discoloration on the teeth. After the bleaching process, you may prefer to drink your coffee with a straw for a while.
 

Due to the teeth whitening application, your tooth enamel may be sensitive for a while. Foods and beverages with high acidity will further strain the weak enamel. It is recommended to stay away from acidic foods for 2 days after the procedure.
 

You already know the negative effects of smoking and tobacco use on your general health. In addition to this, if you are a regular smoker, staining and yellowing of your teeth are inevitable. For a successful teeth bleaching procedure, take a break from tobacco products for at least a few days!
 

You have had teeth whitening, but you still need to maintain the whiteness of your teeth! Keep this in mind. One of the easiest and most effective ways to do this is to brush your teeth regularly. Choosing a soft-tipped toothbrush and the right toothpaste will reduce sensitivity and maintain a healthy oral structure.
