With a regular dental cleaning, you can go ahead and eat after the cleaning, try to avoid food or drinks that are acidic or abrasive. However, if you received a fluoride treatment during your cleaning, you should wait at least 30 minutes before eating anything. After the teeth cleaning, it’s also recommended to avoid consuming staining foods and beverages for the next 24 hours. Be sure to maintain regular oral hygiene practices of brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
