How to Prepare for Your Teeth Whitening Appointment
Getting ready for a teeth whitening session is an exciting step toward achieving a brighter, more confident smile. At New Age Spa, we offer professional teeth whitening services in Montreal and Laval using hydrogen peroxide gel and LED blue light, guaranteeing instant results in just 45 minutes. To make the most of your appointment, proper preparation is key. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to get ready for your teeth whitening session.
1. Schedule a Dental Cleaning
Before your whitening appointment, it’s essential to start with a clean slate. Plaque and tartar buildup can prevent the whitening gel from evenly penetrating your teeth. Book a professional dental cleaning with your dentist a few days before your appointment for optimal results.
Why It Matters:
- Ensures even whitening by removing surface debris.
- Improves the effectiveness of the whitening gel.
2. Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks
In the days leading up to your appointment, limit your intake of staining foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sodas. These items can contribute to surface stains and may interfere with the whitening process.
Foods to Avoid for teeth whitening:
- Coffee and tea
- Red wine
- Tomato-based sauces
- Dark berries
3. Brush and Floss Thoroughly
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial before your whitening session. Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly to remove plaque and food particles. This ensures the whitening gel can reach every part of your teeth for even results.
Tips for Effective Cleaning:
- Use a fluoride toothpaste to strengthen your enamel.
- Floss carefully to reach areas between your teeth.
4. Discuss Sensitivity Concerns
If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know before your appointment. At New Age Spa, we use a gentle yet effective hydrogen peroxide gel that minimizes discomfort. We can also provide recommendations for desensitizing toothpaste to use before and after your session.
Why This Is Important:
- Ensures a comfortable whitening experience.
- Prevents post-treatment sensitivity.
5. Avoid Whitening Products Before Your Appointment
Refrain from using over-the-counter whitening products like strips or gels in the weeks leading up to your session. These products may cause uneven whitening or increase sensitivity, which could affect your results.
What to Avoid:
- Whitening strips
- Whitening toothpaste with abrasive ingredients
6. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water before your appointment helps keep your mouth hydrated and reduces the risk of sensitivity during the treatment. Avoid acidic drinks like citrus juices, which can weaken enamel.
Benefits of Staying Hydrated:
- Maintains oral health.
- Reduces the risk of enamel sensitivity.
7. Plan for Aftercare
After your whitening session, your teeth may be more prone to staining for the first 24-48 hours. Be prepared to follow a “white diet” consisting of non-staining foods and drinks, such as chicken, rice, bananas, and water.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid staining foods and drinks for 48 hours.
- Brush gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
