ZOOM TEETH WHITENING AFTER CARE

After undergoing teeth whitening treatment at Brisbane Smile Boutique Dentists, it's important to take good care of your teeth to maintain the results and prevent any potential damage. Here are some post-care tips to follow after a teeth whitening treatment:

1. Avoid staining foods and drinks: After teeth whitening, your teeth will be more susceptible to staining. Avoid foods and drinks that can cause staining, such as coffee, tea, red wine, cola, and berries.

2. Stay away from tobacco: Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause staining and discoloration of your teeth. Refrain from using any tobacco products to maintain your whitened teeth.

3. Practice good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss at least once a day to keep your teeth clean and healthy.

4. Use a sensitivity toothpaste: Teeth whitening can temporarily make your teeth more sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. Use a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth to ease any discomfort.

5. Use a straw: Drinking staining beverages through a straw can minimise contact with your teeth, reducing the risk of staining.

6. Schedule regular dental cleanings: Professional dental cleanings can help remove any surface stains or tartar buildup, keeping your teeth healthy and white.

7. Limit your treatment frequency: Avoid overdoing teeth whitening treatments, as this can cause damage to your tooth enamel. It's recommended to wait at least six months between treatments.

Overall, maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding staining foods and drinks, and limiting the frequency of teeth whitening treatments can help you keep your teeth white and healthy. Be sure to follow your dentist's post-treatment instructions for the best results.
