Aftercare

Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and strongly colored foods (such as curry) for the first 48 hours
Following these recommendations helps maintain and prolong the whitening results
Increased tooth sensitivity may occur in the first few days — this is normal
It is recommended to use toothpaste for sensitive teeth
Mild gum irritation may occur due to contact with the whitening gel
A slight burning sensation is possible and usually resolves on its own within a short time
In rare cases, temporary dryness, burning, or slight swelling of the lips may occur
These symptoms are temporary and do not require treatment

Do not eat for the first 2 hours after the procedure
During the healing period, avoid foods with small particles (such as rice, seeds, sesame), as they may enter the surgical area and delay healing
Avoid hot food and drinks during the first 24 hours
Do not rinse your mouth or spit forcefully for 24 hours
Do not touch the surgical area with your tongue or hands
Apply a cold compress externally for 5–15 minutes with breaks during the first hours to reduce swelling
Avoid physical activity, sports, and heat exposure (sauna, bath) for 2–3 days
Do not consume alcohol or smoke for at least 48 hours
It is strongly recommended to avoid smoking for a longer period, as it slows healing
Take all prescribed medications exactly as directed by your doctor
Brush your teeth gently, avoiding the surgical area in the first days
Maintain overall oral hygiene
Follow a soft diet: avoid hard, spicy, and very hot foods
Do not chew on the treated side
Mild pain, swelling, and slight bleeding in the first days are normal
If you wear removable dentures covering the surgical area, minimize their use during the first days
If resorbable sutures were placed, they usually dissolve within approximately 4–6 weeks
If you experience increasing pain, significant swelling, prolonged bleeding, or fever — contact the clinic immediately

Do not eat for the first 2 hours after the procedure
Avoid hot food and drinks during the first 24 hours
Do not blow your nose for 4 weeks
If you have a runny nose, gently dab it with a tissue without creating pressure
If you need to sneeze, do not hold it in — sneeze with your mouth open
Avoid activities that increase sinus pressure:
- Do not lift heavy objects
- Do not blow up balloons
- Avoid playing wind instruments
- Avoid any actions involving blowing or straining
Take all prescribed medications as directed by your doctor

Avoid eating for the first 1–2 hours after placement
During the first 24 hours, avoid very hot and hard foods
It is recommended to eat soft foods for the first few days, then gradually return to your normal diet
Mild sensitivity to temperature or pressure may occur in the first days — this is normal and these sensations usually disappear on their own
After root canal treatment, sensitivity or discomfort may occur as part of the healing process
Gums need time to adapt to new restorations (approximately 3–4 weeks); over time they naturally adapt and cover the margins of the restorations
Using a mouthwash and proper brushing technique can support healing
The tongue may also need time to adjust to new crowns or veneers — slight discomfort while speaking is possible in the first weeks; reading aloud can help speed up adaptation

Maintain proper oral hygiene:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day
- Use dental floss or a water flosser at least once a day
- Poor hygiene may lead to gum inflammation and bad breath
Avoid excessive pressure on your teeth — do not bite hard objects (nuts, ice, etc.), as this may damage or displace restorations
If you feel discomfort when biting, pressure, or unevenness — contact the clinic for adjustment; timely correction ensures comfort and durability
Attend regular check-ups to monitor the condition of your crowns, veneers, or dentures
