Post In-Office Professional Whitening Treatment Care

Maintaining your newly whitened smile requires proper aftercare following your in-office professional whitening treatment at London Dental Specialists. Our comprehensive post-treatment care ensures your brilliant results last as long as possible while minimising any potential sensitivity.

Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours)

The first 48 hours after your whitening treatment are crucial for maximising and preserving your results:

• Follow the 'White Diet': Avoid foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, including coffee, tea, red wine, cola, berries, tomato sauce, and curry.


• No Tobacco Products: Refrain from smoking or using any tobacco products, as these can quickly discolour your newly whitened teeth.


• Limit Acidic Foods: Reduce consumption of acidic foods and drinks that can increase sensitivity and compromise enamel.


• Use a Straw: When drinking beverages (especially cold ones), use a straw to minimise contact with your teeth.

Managing Sensitivity

Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity following in-office whitening:

• Use Desensitising Products: Apply the special sensitivity gel we provide as directed.


• Choose Sensitivity Toothpaste: Use a toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth for at least two weeks post-treatment.


• Avoid Temperature Extremes: Stay away from very hot or very cold foods and drinks until sensitivity subsides.


• Take Recommended Pain Relief: If needed, take over-the-counter pain relievers as advised by our dental team.

Long-Term Maintenance

Lifestyle Adjustments for Longer-Lasting Results

To extend the life of your whitening treatment:

• Limit Staining Substances: Reduce consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods and beverages.


• Quit Smoking: Tobacco is one of the primary causes of tooth discolouration.


• Rinse After Consuming Staining Foods: If you do consume staining substances, rinse your mouth with water afterwards.


• Use Whitening Toothpaste: Incorporate a whitening toothpaste into your daily routine to help maintain results.
