After paying a thousand dollars or more on that brand new smile, you certainly wouldn’t want to go ruining it with just a meal now, would you? To maximize the effectiveness and longevity of your treatment, go a week without those teeth staining foods and drinks. This means no coffee, no tea, no red wine, etc. Avoid smoking altogether if you are a smoker.

Not to forget is practicing proper oral hygiene; brushing after every meal, flossing every day, etc. If partaking any food that discolors the teeth is unavoidable, dentists may suggest using a straw so the substance may steer clear of the new teeth.
