Hey Casper, can I eat chocolate after teeth whitening?
Hello! It's recommended to avoid dark-colored foods like chocolate immediately after teeth whitening because they can stain your newly whitened teeth. It's usually best to wait at least 48 hours before eating such foods.
Does eating white chocolate have the same effect?
White chocolate contains sugars that can be harmful to your teeth, but it doesn't have the same teeth-staining properties as dark chocolate. Still, moderation is key, especially after a dental procedure.
Got it. Can I eat any other types of food?
Yes, you can have white or light-colored foods after the procedure. Foods like rice, pasta, fish, and chicken are usually safe. It's also good to stay well hydrated with clear liquids.
Alright, thanks for the advice, Casper.
