As easy as 1-2-3; Just follow these steps:

• If your teeth are sensitive when exposed to hot or cold, it would be best to do a fluoride treatment 2 to 3 weeks before starting the whitening treatment. Simply place the fluoride gel (bottle provided by the dentist if necessary) in the trays and soak your teeth for 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night to desensitize your teeth. Make sure not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after this treatment.
• When you are ready to start your whitening treatment, make sure to thoroughly brush your teeth and floss so the whitening gel is in contact with your teeth.
• Apply the whitening gel in the trays as demonstrated by your hygienist. It is useless to put a large quantity, you will not get faster results, the gel will overflow, and you increase the risk of damaging the soft tissues.
• It is absolutely contraindicated to smoke, eat or drink while wearing the trays. Moreover, it would be best not to smoke during the period when you do the bleaching. Avoid any food or drink that might stain your teeth (such as coffee, tea, red wine, brown soft drinks, etc…) and this until at least 1 week after the end of your treatment.
• It is recommended to wear the whitening trays for at least 4 to 5 hours straight.
• When removing your trays, wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth, eating or drinking. You can rinse your mouth with water. Use your toothbrush and water to clean your trays and put them back in your open case so they can dry in the open.
• You will get better results if you do your treatments within short time intervals. On the other hand, if you have sensitive teeth, you can:
  • Apply the fluoride gel treatment for 5 minutes 30 minutes before the whitening treatments – OR –
  • Space out your treatments by one or two days – OR –
