Teeth whitening is an aesthetic procedure applied to lighten the tooth colour by a few shades. However, the result is not the same for every patient. The tooth's current colour, enamel structure, age, dietary habits and previously performed procedures can affect the result.
For example, surface stains caused by tea, coffee and smoking may respond better to whitening. But some internal discolouration may require different treatment plans.
In the first days after teeth whitening, it is important to stay away from staining foods. Factors such as coffee, tea, red wine, tomato paste and cigarettes can negatively affect the result. For longevity, regular care and compliance with the dentist's recommendations are required.
