Refrain from eating: Following your treatment, please avoid eating for the first 2-3 hours, as your teeth pores remain open and are more prone to staining and sensitivity.
Hydration: Drink plenty of room temperature water after your treatment. Your mouth and teeth may feel slightly dry due to the treatment and from lying down for an extended period.
White Diet (3 days): To protect and maintain your results, follow a “White Diet” for the first 3 days. Suitable foods include chicken, rice, peeled potatoes, and cauliflower.
Please avoid tea, coffee, red wine, and any dark-coloured foods or sauces during this time.
Oral hygiene: Brush your teeth regularly and avoid smoking for 48–72 hours after treatment.
Managing sensitivity: Avoid very hot, very cold, or sugary drinks if sensitivity occurs. Drink tea, coffee, and fizzy drinks through a straw to minimise contact with your teeth. If sensitivity increases, use a sensitive toothpaste (e.g. Sensodyne). Brush and leave a thin layer on your teeth without rinsing. You may take two paracetamol every 4–6 hours as required to ease discomfort.
