After Care Instructions

After your teeth whitening treatment, please follow a few guidelines to help maintain the look of your new smile.  Everyone's teeth have a protective layer called the protein pellicle.  This layer contains the surface
dental stains and is removed during Zoom! treatments.  It takes twelve to twenty-four hours for the barrier to fully develop again.  During this period we ask you to avoid the following items:

sour cream, cottage cheese

You may experience some tooth sensitivity during this period.  If you do, take what you normally would use for a headache.  Also, continue using the recommended fluoride regimen at home for the next few days.

In order to maintain your results, we recommend the following:
