Managing Tooth Sensitivity

• Temporary increase in tooth sensitivity and roughness may occur after whitening.
• It is recommended to avoid consuming very cold or very hot beverages when sensitivity is present.
• You may take one or two tablets of a pain reliever (Paracetamol 500mg) if needed.
  

  Dental Care After Whitening

• Use traditional dental floss or a water flosser daily.
• Brush your teeth with any toothpaste, preferably one that is light-colored or white.
• After flossing and brushing: Apply a thick layer of toothpaste on the surface of the teeth.
• Leave the toothpaste on for at least 4 minutes before rinsing with regular water.
• Repeat this step 2-3 times daily during the first few days after whitening, as toothpaste contains fluoride that helps soothe sensitivity.
  

  Important Note

• Avoid using whitening toothpastes immediately after the session; they can be used a few days later to prevent increased sensitivity.

Avoid Certain Foods and Beverages

• Avoid Indian foods (such as curry, turmeric, and saffron) during the first week after the session,
• due to their strong colors and flavorings.
• During the first 72 hours, avoid consuming acidic foods and drinks such as oranges, lemons, sodas, and pickles.
• Avoid beverages that can cause staining for 3-5 days, including: All types of coffee & Tea & Various caffeinated drinks & Carbonated drinks & Dark-colored fruit juices like berries,
• cherries, hibiscus, and mango.
• You may drink light-colored beverages such as: milk with cantaloupe, or guava juice.
• When drinking these beverages after a few days, it is preferable to use a straw to minimize contact with teeth.
• Refrain from smoking, shisha (hookah), and vaping, as smoking causes deep staining that is difficult to treat.
• After eating or drinking, rinse your mouth with water and wipe the front surface of your teeth with a clean tissue to maintain cleanliness.
