Teeth Whitening
Instructions
FYI
Teeth whitening products may not be able to lighten the areas along the gum line as quickly as the rest of the tooth surface. These areas may remain slightly darker. Additionally, it's important to note that fillings and crowns will not change color with whitening products.
Tray Placement
-
Place a small drop of whitening gel into every compartment of the tray for the teeth undergoing treatment(the teeth that are visible when you smile). Each syringe should last about 5 days.
-
Seat the tray, with the gel around the teeth.
-
Wipe away excess gel in mouth with a tissue or dry soft brush
-
Use gel 1 or 2 X 30 min/day OR 1 X 45 min/day (follow instructions contained with product)
-
Remove whitening tray.
-
Rinse whitening tray with cold water and rinse your mouth with lukewarm water and brush your teeth with sensitive toothpaste.
*For Best Results
-
Do not eat, drink or smoke while whitening trays are in your mouth
-
Do not smoke immediately after treatment, wait at least 2 hours (or better yet, don't smoke at all).
-
Foods and drinks containing strong color (turmeric, red wine, coffee, tea, etc) should be avoided for at least 48 hours after the treatment is complete.
-
Rinse your mouth with water or drink water after consuming any food or beverage that may stain your teeth.
-
Keep gel at room temperature, store in a cool, dark area.
If You Experience Sensitivity
Patients who experience sensitivity during dental treatments may benefit from modifying their treatment schedule. This can include taking a day or two between treatments or reducing the number of treatments. Additionally, using a sensitivity-reducing toothpaste such as Sensodyne Repair and Protect is recommended to help alleviate discomfort.
