Don’t:
1. Do not take any acidic food after Zoom chairside whitening or during your take-home teeth whitening period of 7–10 days. Avoid vinegar, lime, or any other citrus fruits as it can trigger sensitivity.
2. Avoid any dark-coloured food or beverages during whitening and at least 3 days after. The main culprits would be coffee, dark tea, red wine, ketchup, berries, soy sauce and curry. Some of our patients get by with sipping their coffee with a straw.
3. Avoid smoking.
Do:
1. SMILE, SMILE, SMILE. Do show off your brand new smile. People will know you look better even if they cannot tell why!
