Is there anyone left who doesn't start their day with coffee?
A sip at the office, a sip at home, a sip with friends...
But what if you've had your teeth whitened?
Do you have to say goodbye to your coffee for the sake of that pearly white smile?

Don't worry. At Yakup Andaç Dent, in this article, we explain how you can protect your teeth after whitening without upsetting coffee lovers.

The First 48 Hours After Teeth Whitening: A Critical Period

After teeth whitening, the pores of the tooth enamel open up. This means that colored foods and drinks penetrate the tooth much more quickly during this period and lead to re-staining.

The main drinks you should avoid:

• ☕ Coffee
• 🍷 Red wine
• 🧃 Fizzy and coloured fruit juices
• 🫖 Tea (especially black tea)
• 🥤 Dark-coloured drinks such as cola and fizzy drinks

So that "one sip won't hurt" mentality can actually affect the colour of your teeth.

What can I drink if I can't have coffee?

İyi haber: Beyazlatma sonrası sizi tamamen susuz bırakmıyoruz 🙂
Aşağıdaki içecekler ilk 48 saatlik süreçte daha güvenli seçenekler:

• 💧 Water (The most ideal choice)
• 🥛 Plain milk
• 🫙 Herbal teas (colourless ones)
• 🧊 Ice water or colourless cold drinks

Another tip:
If you really miss drinking coffee or tea, you can reduce contact with your teeth by using a straw.
(We know, coffee isn't meant to be drunk through a straw... but small sacrifices may be necessary for white teeth.)

Long-Term Recommendations for Maintaining Tooth Colour

After whitening, not only the first two days but also general habits are very important.

Here are 5 simple steps recommended by Yakup Andaç Dent:

A check-up every six months and, if necessary, a touch-up whitening treatment

Brushing twice a day

Rinse your mouth with water after drinking coloured drinks

Avoid cigarettes and tobacco products

Using whitening toothpaste
