You will receive a copy of post procedure instructions after your procedure is complete.
Most important aspect of Aftercare is following up with your dentist and dental provider for dental cleanings and routines checkups every 6 months.
1) Avoid Colored foods - The first 48 hours are CRUCIAL after ANY teeth whitening procedure because the teeth are more prone to blemishes at this time. If you want the BEST RESULTS and prolong your teeth whiteness, you must AVOID eating deep-colored meals and using tobacco. Items to avoid include wine, tea, coffee, cherries, chocolate, beets, all kinds of berries and dark sauces.
2) Avoid Acidic Foods - As part of your aftercare, you should avoid soda, pickles, lemons, pickles, limes and other foods or drinks containing acids. The teeth whitening treatment weakens the tubules, or pores, of teeth enamel and opens them up. The weakening of the enamel makes your teeth prone to stains and decay after whitening, and the
acid further worsens the weakness.
3) Foods You Can Eat 48 hours after the procedure, you can preserve teeth whiteness by eating these foods as part of aftercare. Certain meals help to clean and brush your teeth while eating, thus ensuring they remain white. Such meals include crunchy fruits or vegetables, especially apples, celery, carrots and green beans. They enhance the production and flow of saliva. Increased saliva helps clean the teeth and counteract the acids. The crunchy vegetables can remove temporary stains before they stick. However, if the fruit or vegetable is darkly colored, do not forget to wash your mouth with water afterward so that the colors will not stain your teeth.
4) Avoid Hot and Cold Meals -Your teeth will be sensitive after the whitening procedure. You should generally avoid meals that are either too hot or too cold. Buying toothpaste designed especially for sensitive teeth will help to reduce potential discomfort. It is advisable to avoid eating the wrong foods or drinks as much as possible. If the items have nutritional benefits, you can consume them, but you must rinse your teeth afterward or brush them. If brushing is not an immediate option, keep sugar-free gum handy to keep your teeth free of decay and prevent staining.
5) Enjoying Your New Smile - Depending on the type of teeth whitening procedure, your teeth should retain their whiteness for at least 6 months to a year or more depending on these factors and proper dental care. If you have questions, feel free to ask the BESO staff any questions OR consult your local dentist to address your concerns since BESO MAKEUP is NOT a dental office.
