What to expect after teeth whitening treatment
After your Britesmile teeth whitening 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 yogurt, 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.
