Teeth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity in some people, but is generally not considered painful.

This sensitivity is often due to the teeth’s reaction to the bleaching agents. It is usually mild and disappears shortly after treatment.

However, if you have naturally sensitive teeth, irritated gums or untreated cavities, the process can be uncomfortable.

It’s important to consult a dentist before proceeding with whitening to make sure it’s appropriate and safe for your oral health.

Yes, after teeth whitening, it’s advisable to avoid certain foods and drinks to maintain the results.

Strongly colored foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, colored sodas, dark sauces (like soy sauce), and certain fruits and vegetables (like berries) can stain your teeth.

It’s also advisable to avoid highly acidic foods, which can increase tooth sensitivity.

Opt for color-neutral foods that are gentle on your teeth for the first few days after treatment.
