Zoom Whitening: Q&A

Can Olive Oil, Eggs, Brown Rice, or Oatmeal Stain Teeth if Eaten the Same Day of Xoom Bleaching?

I just did Xoom bleaching but accidentally ate brown rice with olive oil, butter, oatmeal, butter, and eggs and wanted to know if they might have stained my teeth. They don't look as white as I'd liked them to be and I think they were whiter when I left the dentist's office.

Have you been ZOOMED?

Zoom is an excellent technique but it can be very difficult for any one step procedure to reach the maximum color change possible. Some of my patients are happy with their results. I give my patients custom made trays to follow up and maintain their results at home. The repeated applications will usually exceed one visit results.

Can Certain Foods Stain Teeth After Zoom Whitening?

I really doubt that the foods that you mentioned would have stained your teeth following your Zoom procedure. We do ask patients to avoid things such as coffee, tea, red wines, and foods with artificial colorings for 48 hours following the procedure. This allows for the teeth to rehydrate. If your teeth are not as white as you would like you should bleach for a few nights with the bleaching trays that you should have been made at your Zoom appointment. Good luck. more

Zoom Bleaching - what to avoid after treatment

Not likely! Foods to avoid after Zoom! bleaching are ones that would stain a white tee-shirt. (Red sauces, soy sauce, Balsamic vinegar, tobacco, coffee, tea, berries etc). If you think you could get whiter, ask your Dentist to fabricate take home bleaching trays so that you can continue to bleach at home. This way you are sure to get the results you want. I have seen patients whose teeth fade slightly after bleaching (no matter how they bleached their teeth)... more
