PRE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Drink LOTS of water (100+ ounces the day before and day of your appointment is recommended).
The more hydrated you are, the more hydrated the nerves of your teeth will be which will decrease the chance of sensitivity.
Eat before you come, because we recommend waiting 2 hours after your appointment before eating.
Do NOT brush or floss your teeth at least 6 hours before your appointment.
Brushing and flossing may lift the gums away from the teeth and cause micro-cuts on the gums potentially causing more sensitivity.
POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Continue drinking plenty of water following your appointment to reduce any chance of sensitivity.
Avoid food and drinks (other than water) for the next 2 hours. Do not smoke or chew tobacco for at least 2 hours.
For the next 24 hours follow a white diet:
YES- chicken, fish, turkey, noodles, white sauce, potatoes, rice, cheese, bread, white wine after 2 hours
NO- coffee, soda, tea, punch, tomato sauce, red wine, red meat, dark colored veggies, soy sauce, or anything heavy in color for 24 hours.
Avoid using any dark or bright colored lipstick for at least 24 hours.
Any sensitivity will typically go away within 24 hours, although you may take pain reliever (as directed by doctor) if needed.
Next 48 hours - brush very gently with an all white toothpaste. DO NOT brush gums. Avoid whitening or baking soda toothpaste.
Use your Vitamin Booster at home to help relieve any sensitivity and maintain your bright smile. Apply to teeth and gums for 10 mins, store in the fridge.
