Laser Teeth Whitening After Care

Although your laser teeth whitening treatment from Tooth Whitening Pro will be long lasting and highly effective - nevertheless you will benefit by adhering to a few simple rules that relate to what you eat and drink during the first 48-hours following your treatment.
The results achieved by the teeth whitening process will be quite amazing - so you will want to keep your teeth looking pristine and radiantly bright - to avoid damaging the great work performed by the treatment.

During the initial 48-hours after treatment your teeth will be highly absorbent because in order to be effective the laser whitening treatment will have opened the micro pores of your teeth. It takes a day or two for these to return to their normal state  - so, to avoid undoing the good work performed by the treatment,  you will need to exercise a little over what you eat and drink and trying to refrain from smoking.

LASER TEETH WHITENING 'AFTER CARE'

For the first 48-hours following treatment you should avoid:

• Tea, coffee, red wine, cola, fizzy drinks and fruit juices
• Curries, gravy, pasta sauces, chilli, beetroot, red meat, green vegetables
• Smoking and using coloured mouthwashes

What you CAN eat and drink in the period following treatment

• Water, milk, white wine, lemonade
• Chicken,  turkey, fish, bread, jacket potatoes, bread, rice, pasta (without sauce)

As a rule of thumb - if what you intend to eat or drink would stain a white shirt - they will also re-stain your teeth. You should therefore refrain from consuming these items during the first 48-hours following laser teeth whitening treatment to avoid re-staining your shining white teeth.

MAINTAINING GOOD DENTAL HYGIENE

Laser teeth whitening is purely a cosmetic treatment and will not of course ever replace the need to look after you teeth by ensuring that you practice good dental hygiene. 

Any food or drink contains sugars and starches that can be damaging to your teeth. By brushing your teeth at least twice a day using a good toothpaste, especially after eating, will not only help to protect you from harmful bacteria that causes tooth decay and cavities, but it will also prolong the long lasting effects of your laser teeth whitening treatment. Many foods also contain harmful acids that can erode tooth enamel but regular brushing will also help protect you from the effects of these harmful erosive substances. The less time damaging fermentable carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and acids are allowed to remain on your teeth the less likely they will be to cause damage - so time is of the essence when cleaning your teeth.  

Persistent exposure to acids leads to irreversible loss of dental hard tissue cause by erosion. Drinks including fruit juices such as orange, apple and grapefruit contain acids although your saliva can help to buffer the effects on tooth enamel because it contains calcium, phosphorous and fluoride naturally that can help preserve your tooth enamel.

The only certain way to retain healthy teeth is to pay regular visits to your dentist.
