Hi,

If you consume a high volume of coloured food and drinks such as Tea, coffee, red wine and curry etc your teeth whitening results will not last as long as someone who does not consume all of these things.

By cutting down the amount of tea you drink, your whitening results will for sure last longer. Herbal teas that are light in colour such as camomile tea will stain your teeth less than original tea.

A lot of my patients do not want to change their diet to keep there teeth white. A way around this is to have some home whitening trays made. These trays allow you to top u the whiteness of your teeth whenever you feel necessary. You simply apply the whitening solution your dentist will provide you with into the trays and wear them for 2 hours.

I hope this has been of help to you.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards

Dr Justin Glaister
