The White Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Professional whitening works by using powerful chemicals that infiltrate the tiny pores in your teeth and break apart the stains hiding inside. Unfortunately sometimes your teeth may lose some of the minerals that keep them strong and protect them from sensitivity in the process. To combat this, your dentist may recommend brushing with a sensitive toothpaste for a few days to help restore them. However, because the teeth are so sensitive and delicate in those crucial first few days, you should also be cautious about the foods you eat. For starters, avoid anything too hot, cold, or acidic, as these can increase sensitivity.
