What can you eat after treatment?

We recommend that for the 48 hours after treatment you avoid certain foods and drinks. It is best to avoid any food or liquid that has a strong colour to avoid re-staining your teeth in the short period after treatment.

The following food and beverages should be avoided for at least 48 hours:

•    Tea
•    Coffee
•    Red Wine
•    Cola
•    Curries
•    Dark Green Vegetables
•    Tomatoes and tomato based sauces/juices
•    Red Meat
•    Soy sauce
•    Berries or other dark fruits and fruit sauces
•    Food and drinks containing dyes or artificial colourings
•    Simple rule - If it will stain a white blouse then it will stain your teeth!



You can however consumer white coloured food and drinks like:

•    Milk
•    Water
•    Bananas
•    White fish
•    Chicken
•    Turkey
•    Quorn
•    Rice
•    Pasta
•    White sauces

Do not brush your teeth for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
Use lukewarm salted water to gargle frequently should any minor gum irritation occur.
Smokers are advised not to smoke for at least 24 hours.
It is perfectly normal to experience minor tooth sensitivity for 1 – 3 days after the treatment.  To minimise this, you may want to avoid excessively hot or cold foods and beverages.
