After Care Laser Teeth Whitening

After Care Laser Teeth Whitening


The after care for 48 hours after a laser teeth whitening treatment is most important for achieving the best result from your investment, since the treatment is not cheap!


After the laser teeth whitening treatment the teeth are easily and more likely to stain, as they will be more porous.


Things to avoid completely for the first 48 hours:

Do not eat or drink anything for the first three hours after the treatment. Do not brush your teeth on the first night after the treatment and avoid any colored mouth wash.  Brush your teeth as per normal in the morning on the following day, but still avoid colored mouth wash. 


Do not consume any food with color, such as, red wine, tea, coffee, curries, tobacco, berries, orange juice, cola, pasta sauce and practically anything that would stain a white shirt! Stick to a WHITE DIET, which is of course not terribly healthy, but it is for only 48 hours!!

Things ok to consume on first day after laser teeth whitening:

Egg whites, white rice, baked potatoes (no skin) with sour cream and salt, chicken breast (without skin and no sauce), white fish, steamed Tilapia, steamed Flounder, plain yogurt, tofu, cottage cheese, milk, white bread, Sprite, 7Up, rice milk, light mayo, ranch dressing, white cheese, cream cheese, white marshmallows, coconut water, popcorn (no butter or oil).

Things ok to consumer on second day after treatment:

Same foods as first day, plus turkey breast, pasta with Alfredo sauce, New England clam chowder, cauliflower, bananas, pears, apples, vanilla shake, cereals (no berries), scrambled eggs, white pizza.

A few tips to keep the teeth looking white:

Always brush your teeth two times a day

Invest in a quality toothbrush. A sonic electric brush is ideal.

It is a good idea to try a whitening toothpaste. This needs to be of a good quality, they are a little more expensive but worth it!

Always keep your appointments with your dentist on a regular basis.

Sensible lifestyle and, if possible, consume excessive teeth staining beverages with a straw, such as tea, coffee, cola

Your teeth will begin to stain over a period of time this is when you can look at having them whitened again to keep your bright white smile.
