Caring for Your Teeth After Whitening | The Smile Factory

After a whitening session, enamel is temporarily more receptive to stains. The classic white diet is not superstition - it is chemistry.

The first two days

• Avoid strongly coloured coffee, tea, red wine and cola
• Do not smoke
• Eat lighter-coloured meals where practical
• Use a soft brush and a non-abrasive toothpaste

Minor sensitivity to cold is common and usually fades within days. If it persists, a sensitivity toothpaste helps - and tell your dentist at the next visit so the cause can be checked.
