Can I Use Listerine Total Care After a Zoom Treatment?

Question

Sarah Roberts, DMD · Answer

I would avoid any rinse that is not clear.   Your teeth can absorb the coloring agents and cause staining.  They will be more susceptible to staining for 48 hours after the bleaching process is completed.

Aria Irvani, DDS · Answer

Hi most mouthwashes contain alchohol which further dessicates the teeth. It may prolong your sensitivity. Also because most mouthwashes are colored, it may cause earlier discoloration of teeth while the enamel pores are still open from the bleaching process.

Bill Williams, DMD, MAGD · Answer

I wouldn't use any colored mouthwash after bleaching for a few days. The same goes with red wind, dark cola, tea, etc. Certainly stay away from mustard, blueberries and the like too. Colors can soak up in freshly bleached teeth.   

	By the way, look out for color corrected photos like these. When there is a color shift in the gums and skin color as well as the teeth, you can be assured that the photos are not realistic of the change in tooth color. These images are false and do not represent the actual degree of whitening obtained. Just saying....
