TEETH WHITENING AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To maintain your results and keep your smile looking its best, proper aftercare is important. After your whitening treatment, your teeth are more open to absorbing stains, especially within the first 24 to 48 hours.

• Avoid colored foods and drinks
  Wine, coffee, tea, chocolate, berries, beets, and dark sauces can stain your teeth during this time. If you do drink beverages like coffee or tea, using a straw can help reduce contact.
• Avoid acidic foods and drinks
  Lemons, limes, soda, fruit juices, pickles, and alcohol can increase sensitivity and affect your results.
• Avoid very hot or cold foods
  Some sensitivity is normal after whitening. Stick to foods and drinks that feel comfortable for you.
• Avoid tobacco use
  Smoking or tobacco can quickly stain your teeth after treatment. Try to avoid it as much as possible during this period.

To keep your tooth gem secure and looking its best, proper aftercare is important. The first 24 hours are the most important for allowing the bond to fully set.

• Avoid eating hard or sticky foods
  This includes candy, gum, ice, and crunchy foods that can loosen the gem before it fully sets.
• Avoid touching or picking at the gem
  It may feel new at first, but avoid playing with it to prevent it from coming loose.
• Avoid brushing directly over the gem
  You can still brush your teeth, just be gentle around the area for the first day.
