A dazzling smile can be the perfect touch to your confidence, and teeth whitening is an effective way to achieve this. Accompanying this process with proper dental care is essential to ensure not only whiter teeth, but also optimal oral health. Here are some key tips to keep in mind during and after your teeth whitening journey:
Dental Care During Whitening:
-
Choose quality products: Opt for quality teeth whitening products from trusted brands backed by professionals like Dr. INUK . Read labels carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid the risk of damaging your teeth and achieve optimal results.
-
Maintain good oral hygiene: During whitening, it is essential to maintain an impeccable oral hygiene routine. Brush your teeth at least twice a day , floss regularly, and rinse with a mouthwash recommended by your dentist.
-
Avoid toothpaste for sensitive teeth, certain foods and drinks: Sensitive toothpastes drastically reduce the effectiveness of whitening treatments, because they "close" the "pores" (tubes). It is also important to avoid some foods and drinks, they can stain your teeth, counteracting the effects of whitening. Limit the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine and foods rich in pigments (sauces, blackberries, blueberries, cherries) while you are in the whitening process.
-
Control sensitivity: It is normal to experience some sensitivity during teeth whitening. If this occurs, consider reducing the application time of whitening products and avoiding extremely hot or cold foods and drinks. If you have sensitivity problems (mild and occasional pain) we recommend using our original strips
Dental Care After Whitening:
-
Avoid tobacco and excessive consumption of pigmented foods: Tobacco can stain your teeth, and excessive consumption of foods such as berries, tomato sauce and dark drinks can affect the duration of whitening results. Limit your consumption to keep your smile radiant.
-
Schedule regular dental cleanings: Be sure to schedule regular dental cleanings with your dentist. These will help eliminate superficial stains and keep your teeth in optimal condition.
-
