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:
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.

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!
