The sensitivity or pain in the teeth after the whitening process goes away within a few days. However, painkillers can be used if desired.
In order not to increase the sensitivity, it should be avoided especially for 1-2 days from very hot-very cold foods and drinks.
All foods and beverages with high coloring and sticky properties should be avoided for at least 1 week. The most common foods and beverages are; cigarettes, tea, coffee, caramel, chocolate, dishes containing tomato paste, red wine, cherry-cherry and saffron.
After whitening, tooth brushing becomes more important. Teeth should be brushed after every meal, most importantly before going to bed at night. It is recommended to use toothpastes with whitening properties.
Whitening is more permanent in individuals who do not use coffee, tea and smoke for at least 6 months and brush their teeth regularly. Otherwise, the whitening effect is limited or it may return to its old color. Whitening once every 6 months increases the permanence of teeth whitening in returning individuals.
