Are there any side effects to tooth bleaching?
In some studies, patients have experienced uncomfortable short-term side effects when having teeth bleached. Hydrogen peroxide can increase temperature sensitivity in the teeth, particularly at higher concentrations, and night guards often cause gum irritation.
Can I have the meals after treatment?
You should avoid foods & drinks with strong colors (such as coffee, red wine, curry) and extremely hot, cold, sour foods & drinks, including smoking for 1-2 days after treatment.
How long does Tooth Whitening last?
Tooth Whitening should last for approximately 18 months to 3 years. The length of time depends on your eating, drinking and smoking habits: tea, coffee, red wine and smoking cause teeth to discolour more.
How to take the maintenance of your results?
Some people will notice a gradual darkening of their teeth as time goes by. This will depend on your tooth staining personal habits such as smoking, coffee, tea, and red wine etc.
A touch up maintenance program can generally avoid diminished whitened results. Be sure to come for your dentist recommended cleaning appointment.
