Tooth whitening: How should I care for my teeth after whitening?

Teeth whitening is probably the most popular cosmetic dental treatment available. It aims to remove external stains from your teeth so that you can achieve a whiter, brighter smile.

With the passage of time, the effects of this treatment can be lost, but we want you to keep your teeth radiant for a long time, so we give you some tips to keep in mind after teeth whitening. Moreno-Montalvo Dental Clinic we want you to keep your teeth radiant for a long time, so we give you some tips to keep in mind after teeth whitening, so pay attention!

What does tooth whitening consist of?

This treatment is based on the use of bleaching agents in the gel that is applied. Hydrogen peroxide is used to oxygenate the surface of the enamel, which becomes more porous so that the gel can penetrate better. In this way, the whiteness of the teeth is reduced by several shades in just one session.

What care should I take after tooth whitening?

Feeding

In terms of nutrition, here are some recommendations to follow in the hours after the whitening procedure.

  • Avoid dark-coloured foods and drinks.
  • Eat a 'white diet' for the first 7 days, with foods such as rice or dairy products.
  • Reduce the amount of very hot or very coldfood and drinks.
  • Avoid spicy and acidic foods.

Oral hygiene

Oral hygiene is a routine that should always be taken care of, but after tooth whitening it is especially important. It is advisable to rinse your mouth thoroughly before brushing your teeth. And, of course, flossing and mouthwash should be used.

Visits to the dentist

One last tip, and one of the most important, is to see your dentist regularly so that he or she can assess any possible wear or darkening of the colour.

In our dental clinics in Salou and Tarragona we are available to perform this treatment whenever you want. All you have to do is make an appointment and we will be delighted to help you.
