GloSmilz Teeth Whitening Aftercare Guide
Looking after your smile in the first 24 hours after whitening is one of the most important steps in maintaining your new bright appearance. At GloSmilz, we use a gentle PAP based cosmetic whitening system designed to lift surface stains while keeping your enamel safe. Effective aftercare helps protect your results, reduces the chance of early staining, and keeps your smile looking fresh, clean, and confident.
Why Aftercare Matters
Right after whitening, your teeth are naturally more porous, meaning they can absorb colours from food and drinks more easily. This is completely normal and temporary, but it does mean a little care is needed. Following the simple guidance below helps prevent uneven staining and supports a longer lasting bright finish.
Key reasons aftercare is important:
• Teeth are more porous for up to 24 hours
• Coloured foods can stain more quickly during this period
• Simple choices help maintain a clean, bright appearance
• Good aftercare improves overall whitening satisfaction
The White Diet (First 24 Hours)
A simple rule is to avoid anything that would stain a white T shirt. Sticking to lighter foods helps reduce the risk of re staining during this short window.
Avoid for 24 hours:
• Coffee and tea
• Red wine
• Fizzy drinks and fruit juices
• Curry sauces and tomato based sauces
• Soy sauce and balsamic vinegar
• Chocolate and beetroot
• Strong spices
• Smoking or vaping nicotine products
Safe choices include:
• Water and milk
• Plain chicken or turkey
• White fish
• Plain rice and pasta
• Cauliflower and egg whites
• Natural yoghurt
• Porridge
Oral Care After Your Session
Good oral care supports comfort and maintains freshness.
Recommended:
• Avoid brushing for at least 2 hours
• Use a soft toothbrush for the next 24 hours
• Avoid whitening toothpastes for 48 hours if you have sensitive teeth
• Resume normal brushing after the first day
Keeping Your Smile Brighter for Longer
How long your brighter appearance lasts depends on your natural tooth shade, diet, and lifestyle habits. While everyone is different, small daily habits can help maintain your brightness over time.
Helpful habits:
• Limit dark drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine
• Use a straw when drinking staining beverages
• Rinse with water after coloured foods
• Maintain regular brushing and oral hygiene
Some clients choose occasional whitening top ups when they feel they would like a refresh or before a special event. You can also choose to use our PAP Platinum At Home Whitening Kits. These are completely optional and based on personal preference.
