A lot of times when we get the whitening, we get a it white, but the problem is the enamel pores are all open and it's not smooth. If you take your finger and touch the enamel, or take an instrument, it's not smooth. Because that outer layer is completely destroyed and it takes a long time for that outer layer to reseal or reheal itself and during that time if you drink some coffee, if you drink some coca-cola or you drink some red wine that stain will go right on there and it will be even more tenacious to remove. And that's why when you're doing whitening you want to make sure you don't eat anything or drink anything that has stains that it will coat onto these pores when they are totally open. So during the whitening process you have to stay away from those coloring foods, if you do so you should not have any problem at all.
