Other Points:

  1. If you have had an early or afternoon treatment you should only brush your teeth with white toothpaste, do not use any coloured mouthwash for 48 hours.
  2. If you had a late night treatment do not brush your teeth tonight and then tomorrow use only white toothpaste and no coloured mouthwash. It is advisable that you use a soft toothbrush whilst on the white diet.
  3. After your teeth whitening treatment, if for any reason you experience any sensitivity, rub a little Bonjela on to your gum area and after a while any discomfort should dissipate.
