Professional Whitening Post-Treatment Care Information

Some discomfort and sensitivity is to be expected - simple, over the counter pain medication should ease any discomfort

The first 48 hours following our in office professional whitening experience are vital to the success of the treatment

During this period your teeth are dehydrated and more susceptible to restaining from dark and/or acidic foods and beverages

It is best to avoid consuming items:

• coffee
• tea
• cola
• red wine
• red sauce
• soy sauce
• ketchup
• mustard
• tobacco products
• balsamic vinegar
• berries

A good rule to follow is if something could stain a white t-shirt, it could re-stain your teeth

If you cannot refrain from drinking coffee, tea or cola during this period, then try using a straw and rinse with water, or brush immediately after

After the 48 hour period has past, you may comfortably resume consumption of the items listed above. Keep in mind, these items will stain your teeth and periodic whitening touchups may be necessary
