Tooth Whitening: Helpful Tips

Thank you for choosing Hout Bay Dental Studio to help you with your teeth whitening. We hope you will enjoy your new, brighter looking smile. Here are some useful tips and information that will help maintain your new look.

Helpful Tips

Everyone’s teeth have a protective layer called the protein pellicle. This layer contains some of the surface dental stains and it is removed during tooth whitening. It takes 12-24 months for this barrier to fully develop again. During this period we ask that you avoid the items listed below.

You may experience some tooth sensitivity during this period. If you do, take what you would normally use for a headache.

Please feel free to contact us, should you have any questions or concerns. We will be happy to assist.
