Aftercare

Post-Treatment Instructions for a Long-Lasting Whiter Smile

Proper aftercare is essential to maintaining your bright, glowing smile after a Grin & Glow teeth whitening treatment. Our professional services are designed to deliver immediate results, but your long-term success depends on how you care for your smile afterward.

For the first 24–48 hours, avoid foods and drinks that can cause staining—such as coffee, red wine, berries, and dark sauces. We recommend sticking to the "white diet," including light-colored foods like chicken, rice, potatoes, and water. Smoking and colored toothpaste should also be avoided during this time.

To support and extend your whitening results, we offer vegan-friendly aftercare products, including remineralizing gel, whitening pens, and sensitivity-reducing treatments. Our team also provides each client with personalized aftercare instructions based on your unique needs.

Whether you received your whitening service in our Rochester, NY studio or through our luxury mobile service, our goal is to ensure you maintain a confident, radiant smile for as long as possible.

Brushing

Brush lightly for the first 24 hours, preferably using a manual toothbrush. If you have an electric toothbrush leave it turned off and use it as a manual to avoid irritation. No flossing for the next 24-48 hours to allow your teeth to heal effectively.

Dietary Choices

Steer clear of dark-colored foods and drinks in the first 24 hours following your treatment, as your enamel will be more porous. Opt for light-colored, white, and clear foods and beverages to prevent discoloration.

Avoid Acidic Substances

Avoid acidic and citrus foods and beverages as well as carbonated beverages, to prevent sensitivity and maintain the brightness of your smile.

Minimize Sensitivity

Use a demineralizing gel like Minerals Enamel Booster, enriched with fluoride, potassium nitrate, and calcium phosphate, to replenish lost minerals, rehydrate teeth, strengthen enamel, and reduce sensitivity. This ensures the longevity of your healthy and bright smile.
