How to Keep Your Teeth White After Treatment

You just finished your whitening session and your smile is glowing. Now what?

To keep those results looking fresh for as long as possible, here are a few simple post-treatment tips straight from the Lumiglo playbook:

🥤 1. Use a Straw for Dark Drinks

Coffee, tea, red wine, soda—these are the usual suspects when it comes to staining. You don’t have to give them up (we love our lattes too), but sipping through a straw helps bypass the front teeth and reduce contact with stain-prone enamel.

🪥 2. Brush with a Whitening-Safe Toothpaste

Opt for a gentle, enamel-safe whitening toothpaste—nothing abrasive or gritty. Look for ingredients like fluoride and baking soda, and avoid anything that causes sensitivity.

Bonus tip: Brush at least 30 minutes after acidic foods or drinks to protect your enamel.

🍋 3. Skip Acidic Foods for 24–48 Hours

Citrus, vinegar, tomato-based sauces, and carbonated drinks can soften enamel and make teeth more prone to staining immediately after whitening. Give your smile a little break before diving into that salsa or lemonade.

📋 4. Follow Your Lumiglo Aftercare Sheet
