The Halo Diet

Follow the Halo Diet for 24-48 hours after your teeth whitening treatment. Remember that after your laser teeth whitening treatment, the pores of your enamel are open, and this makes them extra vulnerable to any stains. Once the pores close, which usually happens 24-48 hours after the procedure, you can resume your normal habits.

Further Advice:

Avoid extremely hot or cold liquids. These are dangerous to your white smile because they change the temperature of your teeth. This temperature change (hot and cold cycling) causes teeth to expand and contract, allowing stains to penetrate your teeth. Try cutting down on these types of drinks (including coffee and tea) or try drinking them with a straw to reduce the amount of time they are in contact with your teeth.

Avoid foods and drinks that are acidic. Acidic foods and beverages open the pores of the tooth enamel allowing stains to more easily penetrate your teeth. Use a straw to help minimize the contact of these substances with your teeth.

Cut back on drinking and smoking. Frequent consumption of alcoholic drinks and heavy smoking can reverse the effects of teeth whitening. Many alcoholic drinks such as wine have tannins that can stain the teeth. The same goes for the nicotine in tobacco. If you cannot quit drinking and smoking entirely, at least try to do it in moderation or lessen frequency.

Use smudge proof lipstick to keep lipstick from getting on your teeth because regular lipstick can stain teeth.

A daily at-home cleaning regime is essential to maintain the brightness as it prevents the build-up of stain-causing particles on your teeth. If you neglect your daily brushing and flossing routines, it doesn’t take long for these new particles to accumulate, particularly if you are a frequent coffee or tea drinker. However, you can increase the longevity of your whitened teeth simply by cleaning them daily.
