What are the precautions after cold light whitening?

In real life, many women have darker skin, which was not a big deal many years ago. It’s just that in recent years, women with fair skin seem to be more popular, which is also due to people’s new aesthetic requirements. So many dark-skinned women began to try various whitening methods, such as cold light whitening. So, what are the precautions after cold light whitening?

Point 1: Precautions before cold light whitening

1. Introduce the steps, treatment time, prognosis, and complications of cold light whitening treatment to the patient, and pay attention to correct the patient's excessive demands in a timely manner.

2. Instruct patients not to breathe through their mouths during treatment to avoid swallowing debris and whitening, and keep the surgical field dry and clear. If you feel any discomfort during the treatment, please raise your hand to signal. Do not talk or turn your head or torso at will to prevent chemical injuries to the oral soft tissue.

Point 2: Precautions after cold light whitening surgery

1. Treatment of tooth sensitivity: Explain to the patient that each person's tooth development and health care conditions are different. If there are worn or cracked teeth, tooth sensitivity may occur after the treatment. If there is obvious discomfort, you can take painkillers under the guidance of a doctor; tooth sensitivity will disappear 6-24 hours after treatment.

2. Dietary guidance: It is recommended to choose white or colorless food within 24 hours after cold light whitening treatment; try to avoid eating red wine, cola, coffee and tea, soy sauce, mustard, ketchup, chili sauce, and irritating food that is too cold or too hot; avoid using colored toothpaste and colored mouthwash; avoid smoking.

Notes: 1. Understand the patient's expectations and patiently understand the patient's psychological requirements for teeth whitening. 2. A detailed introduction should be given to the close relationship between maintaining therapeutic effects and postoperative dietary habits and oral care methods. Patients should be given effective dietary and oral health care guidance patiently and in detail.
