Unfortunately, there's no product that can keep your teeth covered while you drink coffee. But there are steps you can take to maintain those great results from professional whitening.  Try using a straw when drinking coffee and don't swish it around.  That will keep the coffee from touching the facial surface of your teeth.  Next, you can rinse with water after drinking coffee. Brushing after drinking coffee with whitening toothpaste is a great option. Lastly, if your teeth start to get stained you can touch up the results with take home whitening trays or white strips. Good Luck!

At this point, there is no protective barrier you can place on your teeth to prevent stains.  The best thing you can do is to either brush your teeth or rinse out your mouth with water immediately following drinking the dark staining liquids, and even that doesn't work for some people!
