Teeth Whitening Preparation & Aftercare

What To Do Before and After Teeth Whitening

Before Your Appointment

  • To avoid sensitivity and opening the pores of your teeth before your teeth whitening treatment we ask that you do NOT brush your teeth 3 hours before your treatment.

After Your Appointment

Please allow 45 minutes to 1 hour after your appointment before you EAT, DRINK or SMOKE.

You have two options:

  • Follow what we call "The white diet" which consist of eating and drinking only white foods for 24-48 hours. Avoid foods and beverages with color, tannins, and high acidity.
  • Avoid colored food such as: wine, tea, coffee, chocolate, beets, berries, red or dark sauce.
  • Note: If you do consume drinks dark drinks like tea, try using a straw to avoid contact with your teeth. This also includes mouth washes especially blue and red.
  • Avoid hot and cold foods. A teeth whitening procedure can generally make your teeth more sensitive. Only consume hit and cold food as tolerated.
  • Avoid acid foods such as: lemons, limes, pickles, soda, beers or fruit juices.
  • Avoid Tobacco Use. If you do need to use tobacco use an e-cigarette limited it to avoid stains.
  • Brush your teeth immediately after eating foods that could stain your teeth. Use a sensitive toothpaste if you need to so you can continue to brush often (after your appointment you will be gifted a mini sensitive toothpaste for this) follow good dental hygiene including brushing, flossing and using clear mouth wash.
