Having your teeth professionally whitened is a highly effective procedure to design your smile and boost your self-confidence. Teeth are particularly susceptible to discolouration and stains immediately after whitening. Therefore, there are some important factors to consider after teeth whitening, especially in the first 48 hours.

Tooth enamel is a very strong layer that protects the outer surface of the teeth from physical and chemical damage. It is extremely hard and is considered the hardest tissue in the body. So much so that it is more durable than bone. Its main function is to protect teeth against various chemicals, foods and beverages. However, in this process, wear and tear of tooth enamel may be inevitable. Once the tooth enamel is worn, it cannot repair itself. Treatment of worn tooth enamel may require different procedures (crown, bridge, veneer, etc.) depending on the condition of the teeth.

As we get older, or sometimes younger, many people can experience tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, spicy or acidic foods and drinks. Approximately 68% of adults worldwide suffer from this condition and it is called "dental hyperesthesia". Women may be more sensitive than men. Those who feel excessive sensitivity in their teeth should seek help from dentists.
