Teeth Whitening Post-op Instruction

For 24 hours after the treatment:

• Do not eat or drink dark, staining substances including coffee, tea, red wine, soy sauce and cola

• Do not smoke cigarettes or use any other tobacco products

• Do not use colored toothpaste 

• Mild sensitivity to hot or cold liquids may occur. This usually passes within 1 – 2 days. If sensitivity persists, we recommend taking over the counter pain medication.

• Long term results vary from patient to patient. This can depend on the original shade of your teeth and include habits such as smoking or drinking colored beverages

​

To maintain over the long term:

• Brush your teeth regularly with whitening toothpaste

• Visit your dentist regularly

• Minimize consumption of coffee, tea, and other staining foods and drinks, and also minimize use of tobacco products

• Ask your dentist about take-home whitening options to touch up quickly in the comfort of your own home
