You can eat right away, however it is important to avoid any foods or drinks with color in the first day, and staining foods and drinks in the following 2 days. Common staining foods and drinks to avoid: coffee, tea, red wine, cola, ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and berries. Avoiding or limiting these foods will also keep your teeth whiter for longer.
Stay away from coffee, red wine, and blueberries. We tell our patients that if it would stain your shirt, it would stain your teeth. Normal diet can resume 24 hours after whitening. Hope this helps. Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us
