A Smile is Worth a Thousand Words

Zoom Dental Whitening

Instructions | 48 Hours Afterward

As soon as your whitening session is complete, you'll notice that your teeth are lighter in color, and that's exciting! That's what we want! 


Now, let's keep this new ligethered smile going by maintaining it. At this stage, your teeth will be essentially porous for 48 hours ( which happens during the whitening process and is needed to lighten them), and you must avoid the following foods. 


To achieve the effectiveness of your new whitened smile, follow the instructions below for the next two days. 


Avoid the following:


  • Colored Soda
  • Coffee
  • Carbonated Drinks
  • Dark Colored Foods
  • Chocolate
  • Pigmented Herbs
  • Tea
  • Sugar
  • Fruit Juices
  • Dark Fruits
  • Dark Condiments
  • Wine Red\White\Pink
  • Avoid Any Acidic Drinks
  • Smoking, Vaping, Recreational 
  • Candy


Avoid Soy Sauce, Salsas, Ketchup, Balsamic Vinegar, Curry, Tomato Sauce, Buffalo Sauce, and Italian Marinara Sauce.


Rinse your mouth after drinking any white or clear drinks. 


Remember, your teeth will be open to any color of pigment, so avoid the aforementioned sauces and foods. It's only 48 hours. Your teeth are still adjusting to the whitening experience and may become a shade or two lighter during this time.

The White Diet

The following are food ideas for the next 48 hours—a curated list of approved foods. 


Yes: 

  • Chicken, Turkey, White Fish 
  • Pasta (white)
  • Rice (white)
  • Cheese (white colored)
  • Egg Whites (only)
  • Potatoes (remove outer layer)
  • mashed potatoes
  • White Bread (remove brown edges)
  • Bananas
  • Yogurt (white)
  • Oatmeal (sweetener only)
  • Almond Milk
  • Oatmilk


Recipes:


  • Alfredo Pasta (white sauce)
  • Roasted Chicken & Rice (remove outer skin)
  • Grilled Chicken & Rice 
  • Turkey Sandwich
  • Chicken Soup & Potatoes (remove outer skin)
  • Cheese Bread 


During the 48 hours, you may feel a zinging sensation or a tingle in your teeth. This is quite normal, as you had the whitening procedure completed. It'll wear off soon after. 


If you should have any concerns during the 48 hours, you can always follow up by calling our studio. You can also continue the light colored diet if you'd like. However, you can return to your general diet after the two days. 


We look forward to your new experience with you with a white and healthy smile!
