Tannins

Tannins are compounds found in foods and drinks like tea, coffee, and red wine that can cause teeth staining. Clients should be advised to reduce their consumption of tannin-rich items after whitening treatments. Using a straw or rinsing the mouth with water afterward can help minimize staining. Recommending strategies to reduce tannin exposure helps maintain whitening results and prolongs the brightness of teeth. This guidance is important for clients who want to protect their investment in whitening.
