Mistakes to Avoid After WhiteningOnce you have had your teeth whitened at our office, it is important that you don't run out and drink red wine or eat spaghetti with a deep red sauce. This can reduce the effects of the whitening. It is recommended that you brush and floss before getting your teeth whitened because you want to make sure that the whitening takes place. You then have to make sure that you wait the specific amount of time recommended to brush and floss once the whitening has been done.Right after whitening, it is highly recommended that you stop smoking.
