What should I expect after teeth whitening?

What to expect and how to care for your teeth after teeth whitening

For 24-48 hours after whitening

  • Avoid strongly coloured foods and drinks - coffee, tea, red wine, curries, tomato sauce, berries
  • Avoid smoking
  • Your enamel is more porous immediately after whitening and more prone to staining

Managing sensitivity

  • Mild sensitivity to hot and cold is common and usually settles within a few days
  • Use a sensitive-care toothpaste
  • Avoid very hot or cold food and drinks while sensitivity lasts

Maintaining results

  • Results vary based on diet and lifestyle habits
  • Top-up treatments or take-home kits can help maintain whiteness over time
