The composite resin receives the final stage of microscopic cross-linking of the surface layer. During this period, it is necessary to avoid foods and drinks with pigment. It is possible to eat light foods: white bread, steamed fish, rice, cauliflower, and drink water. <br \/><br \/>It is necessary to exclude coffee, English breakfast tea, red wine, soy sauce, paprika, and turmeric from the diet. It is advisable to give up smoking for two days, since tobacco harms the pulmonary function and leaves yellow stains on the bonding material.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Eating &amp; Chewing: Mechanic Stress Rules<\/h3>\r\n<p>After the first two days, you can return to eating all your favourite foods and drinks. However, if you like dark coffee, matcha, or red wine, try to drink them through a straw. Moreover, after drinking such beverages, it is necessary to rinse the oral cavity with water to remove the chromogens. In case of frequent coffee drinking, it is possible to use a straw to drink iced coffee.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Oral Hygiene, Flossing Technique &amp; Daily Maintenance<\/h3>\r\n<p>It is necessary to carefully clean the teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Remember that a hard bristle and abrasive toothpaste (such as charcoal or other \u2018whitening\u2019 pastes) damage the bonding material. This damage becomes apparent when the composite begins to darken. After eating, it is necessary to thoroughly remove food debris from the interdental space with floss to prevent the formation of brown lines.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Red Flags: Who to Turn To<\/h3>\r\n<p>If you want to whiten your teeth, consult Envy Smile before starting any procedure. Teeth whitening products only affect natural teeth, so the bonding material will remain the same color. Our doctors will help you choose a method of professional teeth whitening and provide advice on maintaining the bonding material.<\/p>\r\n<h3>FAQs: Most Common Questions Asked by Patients at Envy Smile<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Why can\u2019t I remove coffee stains from composite bonding?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Bleaching products contain peroxides that break down the chromogens in the organic structure of the teeth. Composite consists of synthetic polymers and does not interact with peroxides.<\/p>\r\n<h3>How can I get rid of coffee stains on bonded teeth?<\/h3>\r\n<p>Use the Envy Smile professional AirFlow teeth cleaning service.
