teeth whitening

[Deputy_sherriff]

my teeth are being whitened on the weekend and ive been told i canonly have a white diet for 24 hours.
What does that mean?

Thanks :-)
I'm having 4 back-to-back whitening treatments all in one go, as opposed to having a break in between. That's my concern, and I'm wondering if this will cause any pain/discomfort?

You still haven`t said what type of whitening you are having. Is it laser whitening? I only needed a one-off session of that. What system are you using that you need 4 sessions?

[Deputy_sherriff]

Sorry, I thought I had. My apologies.
Yes, it is laser whitening with a gel. It's exactly the same one as the dentists use, but I'm having 4 back-to-backs for maximum effect.
I'm just a bit concerned now, that all that bleach is going to hurt.

I had laser whitening and it was not at all painful or uncomfortable for me.

Excellent! Thank you Vodkaandcoke :-)

You won`t feel a thing. I didn`t. I had it done in South Africa and when the dentist was filing between my teeth (which no UK dentist had ever bothered to do) he said "I`m sorry if this is a bit harsh but it`s Africa"! The price I paid included having an impresssion that I could take home and use with the hydrogen peroxide gel to keep my teeth white. If you want to keep up the results of your whitening, you will have to buy the 21% gel online. You can`t buy it in the UK.

237sj, thank you for your answer. I've heard about the gel. I don't know if it's worth me doing it that way, or just getting her to top me up every six months or so.
