All teeth have a protective layer called the acquired pellicle. This layer contains the surface dental stains and is removed during a regular dental cleaning or the whitening process it takes twelve to twenty-four hours for the barrier to fully develop again. During this period we ask that you avoid the items listed on the back of this card.

You may also experience some tooth sensitivity during this period. This is not uncommon in a cosmetic procedure and should subside within 24 hours. You may take whatever you would normally use for a headache, if sensitivity occurs.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to assist you.

We recommend that you avoid the following for the next 24 hours:

• Red Wine
• Dark Colas
• Coffee or Tea
• Red Sauces
• Mustard or Ketchup
• Soy Sauce or A-1 Sauce
• Smoking
• Lipstick
• Or anything that would stain a white shirt.

Milk, Water, Clear Soda, Bananas, Apples (no peel), White Bread, Flour Tortillas, Oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, Plain Yogurt, White Cheese, Sour Cream, Cottage Cheese, White Rice, Baked Potato, Plain Pasta & White Sauce, Turkey, Chicken Breast (no skin), White Fish
