Teeth Whitening Aftercare
Teeth Whitening Aftercare Elusive Salon · Idaho Falls, ID
Your enamel stays open to staining for the first 48 hours after whitening. Protect your results now, and they'll hold for months.
No smoking
Avoid smoking or vaping for at least 48 hours.
Skip the stains
Avoid food and drinks that stain — red sauces, tea, juices, coffee, and wine.
Sensitivity is normal
Mild sensitivity may occur. If it persists, an over-the-counter pain reliever is fine.
Brush gently
Avoid brushing your gums if you experience gum sensitivity.
Touch up every 3 months
A quick $30 touch-up keeps your shade — book your next appointment before you forget.
Show it off
Smile and show off your beautiful smile!
The white diet — first 48 hours
Right after whitening, the pores of your enamel are open and grab onto pigment easily. For the next two days, eat and drink pale.
Avoid
- Coffee, tea & red wine
- Dark sodas & energy drinks
- Berries, tomato sauce, soy sauce, curry
- Chocolate & dark candies
- Smoking & vaping
- Colored toothpaste or mouthwash
Enjoy freely
- Water, milk & clear sparkling water
- Chicken, turkey & white fish
- Rice, pasta (no red sauce) & potatoes
- White cheese & plain yogurt
- Bananas & peeled apples
If it would stain a white t-shirt, it will stain your teeth. When in doubt, use a straw.
Managing sensitivity
We apply a desensitizing gel before every session, so most clients feel little to nothing. If your teeth do feel tender for a day or two:
- Avoid very hot or very cold food and drinks for 24 hours
- Brush gently with a sensitivity toothpaste
- An over-the-counter pain reliever is fine if needed
- If sensitivity lasts more than a few days, check in with your dentist
Keep your smile bright
Most clients hold their results with a quick 25-minute touch-up every three months — about ten dollars a month for a smile you like in photos.
