No, teeth whitening doesn’t last forever. A whitening treatment can keep your teeth bright for a few months to a year or more. The length of time that teeth remain white after whitening depends on the treatment, the condition of your teeth, and your habits. For example, if you eat and drink things that can stain your teeth, your teeth will not stay as white as those who avoid these substances.
In order to stay stable on the shelf, products sold over the counter at drugstores have a lower concentration of active whitening ingredients like hydrogen peroxide. This means they simply aren’t as effective as professional-strength products. In addition, professional whitening is easier to use than many drugstore products, which often involve messy strips.
After you have your teeth whitened, it’s important to wait at least four hours before eating or drinking anything (except for sips of water). For the first 48 hours, it’s best to stick to “white” foods like pasta, bread, rice, milk, yogurt, turkey, and chicken. This prevents new stains from forming on your teeth, since the whitening process makes them more porous. Following this advice will help you get the best results and reduce any tooth sensitivity.
