Teeth Whitening

Tooth Whitening Products

Dr. Dann recommends these specific whitening products to help enhance the brightness of your smile. These instructions are not complete and only serve as abbreviated information about the whitening products we offer. Please follow specific directions on the labels as prescribed.

For best whitening results please use the whitening product on a consistent and daily basis. However, do not exceed the recommended maximum daily usage or total maximum number of days recommended.

Also, please avoid food/drinks/tobacco products that cause staining of your teeth. It is especially important during and immediately after the whitening process. During the whitening process your teeth are more susceptible to absorbing stains.

Additionally, the whitening products you use may be applied on a "touch up basis" every month or two as stains begin to reappear.

Occasionally patients experience tooth sensitivity during the whitening process. Dr. Dann recommends using the Phos-Flur gel to be used at least once per day to help reduce tooth sensitivity. Place Phos-Flur gel on teeth with toothbrush or trays for 3 minutes. DO NOT SWALLOW. Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes. If sensitivity becomes severe please stop bleaching and call our office at your convenience.
