Had Beyond laser whitening. Only achieved 3-4 shades, the dentist gave me at home trays with 6% solution to help get a few more shades gradually. Told after the laser treatment not to eat staining foods for 24 hours.I have used it 2nights now & teeth definately look brighter but I have run out of white food in the house and ate some natural peanutbutter & cerlery as a snack 1/2hr ago. Is peanutbutter a no no after whitening? & is waiting 24hrs b4 staining food the rule for the at home tray too?
The general rule is to wait 24-48 hours after you have whitened your teeth before eating staining foods. Common things that tend to stain your teeth are red wine, coffee, tea and curry. If you are not sure about a certain food than you might as well hold off on eating it until 48 hours have passed by. Playing it safe will not hurt and will allow you greater joy in enjoying your new and brighter smile. It is always wiser to ask the provider who did the whitening for you on how long to wait. There are many whitening products out there and hence the manufacturer would be able to give you a specific time you should wait for their product.
I have made an appointment to have zoom teeth whitening and the dentist has told me I should do a professional home kit for 7 days before the zoom whitening. Is this necessary or are they just trying to make more money?
I feel that at home whitening works well to get your teeth their whitest if used after the zoom whitening or in-office whitening treatment. It's not a money maker as we usually include a take home kit for all of our in-office whitening patients. Hope this helps.
I'm planning to get 4 crowns and 4 veneers on my top front teeth. I was told that I should whiten my teeth first before the procedure. Is that true? I figure since the teeth would be covered, I don't need to whiten them.
If I understand you correctly, you will be covering the top 8 teeth in your mouth. Sometimes more than this number of teeth show when you smile. If you are planning to make your crowns and veneers whiter than your natural teeth that show, now would be the best time to bleach your teeth. You could then pick a lighter shade for your restorations that matches or blends with the lighter shade of your teeth. It also depends if your bottom teeth show when you smile. Some people only show their upper teeth and then it is not as crucial to whiten the bottom ones. Some people, like movie star Julia Roberts for example, show upper and lower teeth when they smile and for people like that it would be good to whiten their teeth first.
It all depends on your GOALS for your mouth. Look at your smile see what makes you most comfortable.
