What to expect after whitening

After your Britesmile treatment please follow a few guidelines to help maintain the look of your new smile.

 

Everyone's teeth have a protective layer called the protein pellicle. This layer contains the surface dental stains and is removed during Britesmile treatments. It takes twelve to twenty-four hours for this barrier to fully develop again.  During this time we ask you to avoid the items listed below.

 

We recommend a white and clear food diet during the first 24 hours:

 

Drink: milk, water, clear soda
Fruit: bananas, apples, no peel
Bread: white bread, flour tortillas
Oats: oatmeal, cream of wheat
Dairy: plain yoghurt, white cheese, sour cream cottage cheese
Grains: white rice, baked potato
Pasta: plain pasta and white sauce
Meat: turkey, chicken breast (no skin)

  

A list of items we recommend you avoid for the next 24 hours:

 Red wine

 Dark colas

 Coffee or tea

 Red sauces

 Mustard or tomato sauce

 Soy sauce or Worcester sauce

 Smoking

 Lipstick

Or anything that would stain a white shirt.

 

You may experience some tooth sensitivity during this period.  If you do please take what you would normally use for a headache.

 

Maintenance:

Three-six months post treatment, apply Britesmile to go pen for 30 seconds, leave for one minute and don't eat or drink anything for 15 minutes after.  This should be applied once a week.

 

Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions of concerns.  We will be happy to assist you.
