Common Questions About Teeth Whitening
How does teeth whitening work?
The whitening agent in our teeth whitening systems contains oxygen molecules that interact with the discolored molecules in your teeth enamel. The discolored molecules are broken up, and your teeth are left a sparkling white. Depending on your wants and needs, we can alter the level of whitening by changing the strength of the whitening agent and how long it's applied.
Can teeth whitening be permanent?
Teeth whitening isn't permanent. You can expect its effects to last for at least a few months and up to a year if you take steps to control staining. This includes not using tobacco, practicing good oral hygiene, and avoiding staining substances such as coffee and red wine. It's a good idea to rinse your mouth with water after consuming staining foods or drinks.
Can I eat after my teeth whitening treatment?
You'll want to avoid eating or drinking for at least four hours after your whitening treatment. Just sip water during that time. In fact, during the first 48 hours, we recommend you have a diet of "white" foods, like bread, pasta, yogurt, rice, milk, turkey, chicken, etc. Your teeth are porous after the whitening, which means they are more susceptible to picking up stains. To achieve the best results and to experience less sensitivity, adjust your diet those first couple of days.
