Preparing for Your Teeth Whitening Appointment

Our teeth are regularly damaged and stained by our food and beverage choices. Stained teeth often cause us to lose confidence in ourselves and become afraid to smile. Yet, we cannot stop eating and drinking. We must do these things to live. Thankfully, we can get our teeth professionally whitened by our local cosmetic dentist. A teeth whitening appointment can help reduce or eliminate tough, stubborn stains caused by things such as coffee, tea, soda pop, tomato sauce, fruits, and more.

A common question that patients often have is “How do I prepare for my teeth whitening appointment?”. There are a few things that you can do to prepare for your appointment and help maximize its effects. You can begin by avoiding acidic and damaging foods and beverages such as the aforementioned items listed above in the weeks leading up to the appointment. On the day of your appointment, you should gently brush your teeth and avoid irritating your gums. Also, try to only drink water on the day of the appointment and avoid eating acidic foods.
