General recommendations after teeth whitening:
- • Follow a white diet for at least seven days after treatment. You can eat foods such as rice, chicken or turkey.
- • If you feel tooth sensitivity or discomfort, you can take an anti-inflammatory to soothe it. Keep in mind that these are temporary and very common discomforts.
- • If the sensitivity persists for several days or becomes excessively bothersome, consult us to examine what the problem may be and address it as soon as possible.
- • Do not smoke. It will harm the whitening and will turn your teeth yellow again in a short time.
- Carry out strict oral hygiene, especially after whitening.
- Avoid mouthwashes that may contain Chlorhexidine such as Perio.aid or Periokin.
Foods to avoid after teeth whitening
- Avoid drinking carbonated drinks during the 15 days following treatment.
- Do not consume drinks with colouring, such as coffee, tea or red wine, as they can seriously affect the whitening process.
- Avoid fruits such as strawberries, cherries or raspberries so that they do not stain your teeth.
- Try not to eat citrus fruits.
- Do not eat foods such as tomatoes, carrots or beets in the days following your whitening. They can stain your teeth and ruin the whitening process.
