• The first 48 hours are crucial to maximize the whitening results from you bleaching procedure.
  • Some patients experience sensitivity after bleaching. This sensitivity normally lasts 48 – 72 hours however it is not unusual for it to linger for a week or so. We recommend over the counter pain medications such as Ibuprofen, Advil or Tylenol to counteract any discomfort you may be having.
  • Avoid acidic fruit juices like orange juice until the sensitivity has dissipated.
  • Use the toothpaste that is recommended by your dentist.
  • Chewing “sugarless” gum will help as it will reduce the peroxide levels and help with the sensitivity.
  • DO NOT CONSUME dark or yellow staining substances such as:
    · COFFEE, TEA, MUSTARD, KETCHUP, RED WINE, DARK COLORED SOFT DRINKS, BERRIES, RED SAUCES, SOY SAUSE · TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND CHOCOLATES
  • If your regular home care contains Chlorhexidine rinse, please wait 48 hours before continuing.
  • Please continue good oral hygiene after your lightening process, this will greatly help you maintain the new color.
  • If you notice that your teeth are darkening, you may want to enhance your bleaching. We can custom fabricate take-home bleaching trays for this purpose. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
