What To Eat After Zoom Teeth Whitening

Zoom Whitening is an increasingly popular in-office procedure for professional teeth whitening. The short time frame for results is attractive to many patients as they aim to achieve their brightest smile. Color is enhanced in less than one hour.

Although the rapid effects of Zoom Teeth Whitening incentivize treatment, there is more sensitivity for a couple of days post-treatment and some eating and drinking habits that should be adhered to.

Along with sensitivity, the teeth are especially prone to absorption after the treatment.

• Avoid eating that would stain a white shirt
• Be especially critical of your food choices in the first 48 hours after Zoom
• Brush immediately after eating that you fear could leave a stain
