After your BriteSmile Whitening:

Everyone's teeth have a protective layer called the acquired pellicle. This layer contains surface stains and is removed during the procedure. It takes about 24 hours for this barrier to fully develop again. During this period we ask that you do not consume dark foods (i.e. coffee, tea, dark soft drinks, red wine, dark sauces) in order to minimize shade relapse.

Smoking is not recommended.

We recommend a white and clear food diet during the first 24 hours:

• milk, water, clear soda, tonic
• bananas, apples and pears (no peels), cauliflower
• plain or vanilla yogurt, white cheese, cottage cheese, egg whites, sour cream
• white bread, flour tortillas, saltine crackers, oatmeal, cream of wheat
• pasta w/ white sauce, white rice, mashed potatoes, baked potato (no butter)
• skinless chicken breast, turkey, white fish, pork loin or chops

If you experience any discomfort after the procedure:

You may take the headache medication of your choice. Please feel free to contact your dentist should you have any question or concerns.

Thank you for choosing BriteSmile!
