Tips For The Most Successful Results:

  1. Avoid tobacco, coffee, colas and red wines. They contain heavy staining substances, which can prevent optimalteeth whitening.
  2. Refrain from citrus fruit, citrus fruit juices, soft drinks and antacids. These may change saliva acids and slow down the whitening process.
  3. Do not eat or drink while your whitening trays are in.
  4. Postpone whitening if pregnant or nursing.

What You Can Expect:

  1. Areas closest to the gum tissue may take longer to whiten then the rest of the tooth.
  2. You may experience some mild sensitivity during treatment. If this occurs, discontinue use until sensitivity is completely gone. Then continue as directed.
  3. Some of our patients have found they like to re-brighten their smiles after 4 to 6 months by wearing their whitening trays for a night or two. This will keep your smile bright and beautiful.
  4. If gums turn white and are sensitive while whitening, remove the excess gel from the area and replace the trays.
