What to avoid after a teeth cleaning?

I am a 31 year old female and I will have a teeth cleaning. What to avoid after a teeth cleaning?

5 Answers

Coffee, tea, and any soft types of food, especially carbs that make your teeth prone to caries, plaque-producing bacteria.
Hello,

Glad to hear that you are taking care of your oral hygiene! I take it you are referring to foods/drinks to avoid after a dental cleaning? If this is the case, then it might be a minor detail, but you would want to avoid foods that stain your teeth (coffee, wine, pasta). Like I said, this is not as big of a deal as you would think though.
Hope this helps.

My best to you!

Unless you had a fluoride varnish placed you can eat or drink as soon as you like, with the varnish it’s best to wait for 30 min.
Poor oral hygiene. Otherwise normal habits can continue.
Nothing!
Brush, floss and enjoy your clean teeth! It will help keep them that way!
