Aftercare Instructions Following Zoom! Teeth Whitening
The Zoom! professional teeth whitening treatment performed at Downtown Dental in Los Angeles, California, continues to be a popular cosmetic treatment for our patients. Along with these in-office bleaching treatments, we also provide other esthetic options for patients to improve their smile’s appearance, including porcelain veneers and dental bonding.
With professional whitening, you can brighten your smile in a single visit up to eight shades whiter. But what about aftercare? How do you keep the results over time? What should you do to reduce sensitive teeth after whitening? Our team at Downtown Dental is here to educate you on what to expect following your treatment and how to maintain your brighter, more brilliant smile!
How do I reduce the risk of sensitive teeth after Zoom! teeth whitening?
Understanding the aftercare needed following in-office professional bleaching can significantly impact the results of your treatment.
To reduce the risk of sensitive teeth after whitening, you should:
- Take care to brush and floss your teeth daily. Caring for your newly-whitened smile starts with proper home habits. Brushing twice a day and flossing at least once daily are essential to maintain the brightness of your smile
- Use desensitizing toothpaste. Kinds of toothpaste specifically designed for treating sensitive teeth can help reduce sensitivity, especially when used after whitening treatments
- Avoid acidic or sugary foods and drinks. Highly acidic or sugary foods and beverages are known to erode your natural tooth enamel, exposing the sensitive dentin layer underneath and causing sensitivity. This can happen with or without professional whitening treatments
- Follow up with a professional cleaning. Getting your teeth cleaned professionally should be done regularly, preferably at least every six months, to maintain optimal oral health before or after any whitening procedure
