For the first 24 to 48 hours after teeth whitening treatment, it’s best to steer clear of foods and drinks that stain easily, things like red wine, tea and coffee, since your teeth can be more porous and prone to picking up colour during this time. Avoiding smoking during this window helps too.

We’ll also talk you through any specific aftercare tips at your appointment, tailored to your treatment.
