You've had professional whitening at Dr. Jinny's in Shela and walked out with a stunning bright smile. Now — how do you keep it that way?
The 48-Hour Rule
Avoid all staining foods and drinks for 48 hours post-treatment. This is the single most important step — enamel pores are open and absorb stains rapidly.
The White Diet
For 48 hours: white and light-coloured foods only. White rice, curd, milk, bananas, cauliflower. Clear drinks — water and coconut water.
Limit Staining Drinks Long-Term
Tea, coffee, red wine, dark cola. Rinse your mouth with water after every cup of tea or coffee — it makes a significant difference.
Quit Smoking
Tobacco is the single most aggressive tooth-staining agent. One of the strongest reasons to quit.
Use a Straw
For cold staining drinks, a straw reduces contact with tooth surfaces.
Whitening Toothpaste
Use a gentle whitening toothpaste (not abrasive) as daily maintenance — not a substitute for professional whitening, but a useful top-up.
Professional Cleaning
6-monthly scaling removes surface stains before they penetrate enamel. This alone extends whitening results significantly.
Top-Up Whitening
In-clinic touch-up may be needed every 12–18 months depending on diet and habits.
