What should be considered after teeth whitening? Istanbul Turkey Dental Clinic

After teeth whitening, the most important thing is to maintain the whitened teeth for as long as possible. Of course, teeth whitening is not a permanent treatment and natural teeth will start to turn yellow again after a certain period of time. Our aim here is to preserve the whiteness of your teeth for a long time and maximize the time until the next teeth whitening treatment. We will express the points to be considered after the treatment below:

• After teeth whitening, your teeth may become more sensitive to staining, so it is useful to avoid staining foods and drinks, and at least brushing your teeth lightly after their consumption will prevent staining. Rinsing your mouth with water after consuming staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine and dark fruits and vegetables will reduce the likelihood of staining.


• Brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing at least once a day and maintaining good oral and dental hygiene will greatly prevent the formation of stains in order to remove stains on the tooth surface and prevent new ones from forming. Always ask your dentist for advice on what type of toothpaste and toothbrush to use. Some of the tooth whitening toothpastes you see on the internet or social media may damage tooth enamel.


• When consuming staining drinks, it would be appropriate to use a straw to prevent your teeth from contacting these drinks.


• Try to quit smoking, which causes serious discoloration and staining of your teeth, for both your health and your teeth. At least not smoking until a few days after the procedure will be very useful for your sensitive teeth.


• It is beneficial to avoid using tobacco products or smoking for at least a certain period of time after teeth whitening. As mentioned before, teeth are more prone to staining after teeth whitening. We recommend that you do not use these products for at least 48 hours.


• Depending on the type of treatment you undergo, the treatment may take several sessions, so be sure to schedule follow-up appointments with your dental clinic.


• After teeth whitening, some people's teeth may become more sensitive to hot or cold temperatures, or to sweet or acidic foods and drinks. To help alleviate such discomfort, your dentist may recommend using a desensitizing toothpaste or other medication.


• Paying attention to these issues that will keep your teeth white and healthy will prolong the effectiveness of your treatment.
