Professional whitening opens enamel pores temporarily. The “white diet” protects your investment by avoiding pigments during this critical 48-hour window.

The Science

Your teeth act like a sponge post-treatment. Enamel pores remain open for about two days, making them highly susceptible to liquid and food stains.
