Post Teeth Whitening Treatment and Care
Congratulations on getting to your post teeth whitening treatment care. This phase is essential, because you want to maintain your whitened teeth, and the next 48 hours are crucial. Being properly informed, so that you can make an educated decision on maintenance is important. Below, we have outlined some of the foods and substances your should refrain from consumption. You should not consume any of the following:
- Wine, coffee, teas or sodas, which can reverse some of the treatment already completed.
- Stay away from berries, such as blackberries, blueberries, cherries and even strawberries.
- Eat clean and avoid dark sauces, such as soy sauce, ketchup, mustard or any other red or dark colored sauces.
- Avoid any type of smoke, such as smoking tobacco or cannabis, which can also lead to tooth decay and tooth loss over time.
As far as tooth loss is concerned, this is possible for those who are avid smokers for over ten to twenty years. While teeth whitening can provide you with some maintenance against detrimental affects of smoking, do not treat it as a sole solution.
Tooth Sensitivity and Potential Pain Around the Enamel
There are some instances where the patient will come across some sensitivity, this is rare of course. In some susceptible patients, they will even feel slight pain after a teeth whitening procedure. If this happen, be aware that it would be most common during the first 24 hours. You should not forego proper maintenance of your teeth in fear of small sensitivity in the first 24 hours after your procedure.
In very extremely rare cases, a patient can feel pain. However, this is usually because of other underlying problems with the patient’s oral health. For example, if a patient is neglecting their oral health, to where gum recession is occurring amongst other oral problems. The possibility of added pain may occur for a little longer time than 24 hours. These patients are more susceptible of feeling pain for one or more underlying reasons. Some of the reasons you may come across that are attributed to tooth sensitivity or pain after a teeth whitening procedure are outlined below:
- If the patient has gum recession.
- An exposed dentin can cause the patient more discomfort.
- If there is a cracked tooth and is not yet treated.
- Root surface that is exposed or a portion of a filing that has come off can caused pain for a bit longer.
- Abfractions, which are also known as micro cracks can be a contributing factor.
- An open cavity can cause pain or discomfort after teeth whitening.
There are some very short-term solutions for those who feel sensitivity or pain post procedure. Your dentist can recommend mild analgesic, such as Advil or Tylenol. Talk to your dentist about these recommendations before undertaking any added solutions.
