These types of drinks, along with food like curry and tomatoes, have powerful staining power. In order to maintain the results of your teeth whitening treatments we recommend avoiding drinking or eating these foods and beverages frequently. If you would rather continue to enjoy them however, cleaning your teeth regularly and ensuring you floss and use mouthwash will help to prevent them staining your teeth further.
