Whitening after care

Teeth Whitening after care

As with most whitening systems, it is common to experience some sensitivity, particularly on the first night. You may need to take medication for pain relief on the day of your appointment if necessary. The sensitivity should have largely subsided by the next day. To reduce post-operative sensitivity and rehydrate the enamel, it is recommended that you apply GC Tooth Mousse, Sensodyne toothpaste or relief gel to your teeth. Any mottling or translucency that occurs on the tooth surfaces is normal, due to dehydration of the enamel and will blend and disappear over the next 7 days.

For the following 4-7 days After treatment, you must:

Avoid any dark-staining drinks like Tea, Coffee, Red Wine, colored soft or Alcoholic drinks, and fruit juice.
Avoid all dark-staining foods like Bolognese, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate, and all fruit except bananas.
Avoid any foods or drinks that would leave a stain on a white shirt.
No Smoking for 4-7 days, smoking a cigarette within the first days will stain your teeth
Avoid colored toothpaste (red or blue) or Mouthwash for 24 hours.
Rinsing with water right after drinking or eating will be very effective.
Food and drinks that may be consumed are as follows:

Plain chicken, fish & chips, potatoes, plain pasta and white sauces,

cereals, milk, 7up, and white wine, once it is clear or white.
