Whether to remove stains, blend implants with your original teeth, or touch up an already stunning smile, teeth whitening treatments bring full brightness and excellence to your mouth. Such treatments provide comprehensive color changes that can last for years, but only if you take proper care of your teeth after the procedure. By keeping to the following dietary tips for the first two days, you can preserve the color and health of your teeth, keeping them beautiful for the long stretch.
The process of teeth whitening keeps going longer than only a couple of seconds since the bleaching material is still working after the treatment. Because of this reason, after teeth whitening, Signature Smile recommends to avoid certain foods for 10-14 days and keep a “white eating routine”.
Although our dental specialists at Signature Smile,River Oaks give our patients precise data about these tasks, we collected our tips on a virtual paper, so our patients can check at any time what it is advisable to eat and what is not.

HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AFTER A TEETH WHITENING?
One of the first questions we get after a teeth whitening procedure is how long do you have to watch what you eat?

Kindly try to talk with your dentist for a more nitty-gritty timetable for after your teeth whitening.

What does White Diet mean?
It is quite simple as its name shows, it is allowed to consume mainly white foods, like chicken, turkey, fish, rice, eggs, baked goods. The point is that we shouldn’t eat foods with strong colored pigments as long as the whitening material is still in progress – as they could change the (wished) color.
There is nothing to worry about as it is not a classic diet, so you can eat almost everything as white chocolate and wine exist!
