I know its a silly question but the reason my fangs are so yellow in the first place is because I LOVE coffee and my diet-coke. I drink about a pot and a half of coffee a day. (over 8 to 12 hour period at work) No way can I cut out coffee for 24-48 hours after bleaching as recommended. I've heard the reason for no dark foods is because the teeth are porous after bleaching. Is there any way I can fill in the pores with something? A good coating of sealant maybe? lol. Seriously? I like to taste the coffee on my palette. Straws kill the sensation. I guess I'm a coffee-snob. Please help.

You can't, or you'll be throwing away the money you spent to have your teeth whitened. Teeth are dehydrated after whitening, not more porous. When saliva touches them and when you drink or eat something, the teeth soak up the moisture over the first 24-48 hours, and the color of whatever those things contain. If you received custom-made whitening trays from your dentist after your whitening, you can put those on to have a SMALL AMOUNT of what you crave. Otherwise, I would try to forget about it, or expect your teeth shade to relapse. I hope this helps.

Other than avoiding it there really is no way. A straw is the next best thing....other than that??? If you can't resist, try drinking water inbetween every drink of coffee or soda.

I've heard that lots of celebrities drink soda and coffee only if they have a straw. Maybe you could try that? That way your smile won't be damaged and you can keep drinking.

you ought to use Arm & Hammer tooth care toothpaste. That bleaches and coats them on a similar time, and is enormous for gentle tooth in case you have them. I used a bleaching kit from Boots final 12 months. My dentist reckoned that the point of peroxide in them wasn't comparable to at a dentist (for criminal and client risk-free practices themes). After a sturdy polish, you're able to positioned tooth returned on them sharpish, which tooth care toothpaste is suitable for
