Ongoing Maintenance
- Brush twice daily with a whitening toothpaste
- Drink staining beverages through a straw
- Rinse your mouth with water after consuming staining foods
- Use your take-home touch-up kit as directed
- Schedule professional cleanings every 6 months
Sensitivity
Mild tooth sensitivity after whitening is normal and usually fades within 24-48 hours. Use a sensitivity toothpaste if needed. Contact us if sensitivity persists beyond 3 days.
