When it comes to confidence, a gleaming white smile can certainly help build it! This treatment is very popular for many reasons, including the fact that it’s fast (about two hours) and results are immediate. However, what happens once you leave our office is key to maintaining your newly whitened smile.
Keep reading for more on aftercare protocol and tips to keep your teeth looking their best after your whitening treatment.
Ensuring your teeth stay their whitest
The first 48 hours following your Zoom! treatment are the most crucial for long lasting whiteness.
Our teeth contain an outer protective layer which holds any surface stains that are removed during a whitening treatment. After Zoom!, it takes up to a full 24 hours for this barrier to redevelop fully. As such, Dr. Milan has specific recommendations for the first two days after your treatment.
You should avoid all coffee and tea drinks, red wine, tobacco, soft drinks and even dark foods and sauces like tomatoes and red sauce, ketchup, berries and so on, as these can stain your teeth. You should also avoid toothpastes and mouthwash that have color.
