Would it be pointless drinking coffee while using whitening strips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would say yes: Coffee stains the teeth and it might be a waste of money if teeth whitening is what you are paying for... Try using a straw with COLD coffee... that way it won't touch your teeth? Worth a shot is you can't give up coffee! Best of luck!
