After Care for Home Whitening Trays

When you first use home tooth whitening

You have been provided with home whitening trays. These trays have been custom made for your mouth and should not be used by anyone else.

Please handle the tooth whitening gel carefully and refer to the product warnings provided before use. Care should be taken to prevent contact with the skin or eyes.

For the first 3 to 4 nights – trays should be worn overnight, please use 16% Hydrogen Carbamide

For the next 10 to 14 days – use the 6% Hydrogen Peroxide for 90 minutes a day.

Each tube of whitening gel should last for 4- 6 applications of whitening in each upper and lower tray. You might not need to use all 4 tubes.

  1. When using the trays, hold each one flat on your hand and apply the gel into the tray. Insert directly into your mouth. Do not over fill the trays.
  2. Remove any excess gel from around the gum area using a tissue or dry toothbrush
  3. Wear your trays for 90 minutes a day, unless it is your first course of treatment, in which case use the night gel (16% hydrogen carbamide) overnight 3-4 nights
  4. Do not eat or drink with your trays in and try to avoid talking as much as possible
  5. When you have finished your whitening session, take out the trays, rinse your mouth and wash the trays. Store them in the box provided
  6. Avoid highly coloured foods and smoking for half an hour after removal
  7. Keep any open gel in the fridge
  8. It is not unusual to experience some sensitivity in your teeth during tooth whitening, however if you get any burning pain in your gums or lips or any other part of your mouth, remove the trays immediately and rinse your mouth thoroughly
  9. Do not put your trays in boiling water, there is a charge to make new trays
  10. Maintain your normal oral hygiene routine
  11. You must be dentally fit prior to carrying out any tooth whitening

Maintenance of tooth whitening

Depending on lifestyle it is recommended that you top up your whitening for 1-2 days every 4 months, possibly more frequently if tea, coffee or red wine are consumed regularly or if you smoke.

Tooth whitening gel is a prescription product and cannot be sold without a valid prescription from your dentist.

If you are a member of the practice, and have chosen to benefit from free home whitening, 2 tubes of gel are provided free of charge annually (one every 6 months). You must bring your whitening trays to your healthy mouth review to be checked in order to issue another prescription for more tooth whitening gel. If you forget to bring your trays to your appointment you may have to wait until your next appointment for a repeat prescription.

If you are not a member of the practice, annual tooth whitening check appointments are available to check whitening trays and issue a prescription. 4 tubes of gel are included. You must bring your trays to this appointment. There is a fee for this service and prescription, contact the team for up to date treatment fees.

If you experience any problems contact the practice on 01275 842 550.

✨ “I’d definitely recommend Evolve.” ✨

When David first came to see us, he was unhappy with the appearance of his teeth and felt self-conscious about how wonky they looked.

He told us that his confidence had been affected so much that he would often keep his mouth closed when talking.

Like many patients, David was nervous about starting treatment, but our team took the time to listen, answer his questions and support him every step of the way.

Using teeth straightening followed by composite bonding, we helped David achieve the smile he had always wanted - and in just 9 months.

For David, the biggest change wasn’t just his teeth. It was feeling confident enough to smile, speak and be himself again.

Thank you, David, for trusting us with your smile and for sharing your experience.

🦷 How often should you visit the dentist?

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often, and the answer might surprise you.

Many people assume everyone should visit every six months, but that’s not always the case. Some patients may only need to see us every 12 months, while others benefit from more frequent visits every three or four months.

The right interval depends on factors such as your oral health, risk of tooth decay, gum health and any ongoing treatment.

In today’s Two Thirty video, Richard explains why dental review appointments are tailored to each individual and how regular visits help us spot potential problems before they become bigger issues.

Take a look at the video to learn more, and if you’re unsure when your next review is due, our team will be happy to help.

✨ Why are so many patients choosing Angel Aligners? ✨

If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but are worried about noticeable braces, Angel Aligners could be the perfect solution.

In today’s video, Yasmin explains why patients love Angel Aligners. The clear aligners are comfortable, removable and incredibly discreet, meaning most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

But it’s not just patients who love them.

As a dentist, Yasmin values the flexibility Angel Aligners provide. By carefully placing attachments on the teeth, she can achieve precise movements and help treat more complex cases than many people realise.

The result? A straighter smile with a treatment that fits around your everyday life.

Watch the video below to hear Yasmin explain why Angel Aligners have become such a popular choice for patients looking to transform their smile.

Are dental X-rays safe? 🤔

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often - and in this video, Richard explains why modern dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and play an important role in protecting your oral health.

Dental X-rays help us spot problems that may not be visible during a normal examination, including decay between teeth, infections, bone loss and other hidden issues - often before they become more serious.

At Evolve Dentistry, we only recommend X-rays when clinically necessary and always keep radiation exposure as low as possible.

Today is World Environment Day 🌍

At Evolve Dentistry, we’re always looking at ways we can reduce our environmental impact while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.

Over the years, we’ve introduced a number of changes within the practice 

🦷 Using digital scanners instead of traditional impressions 
📄 Reducing paper usage through digital systems and communication
☕ Choosing paper cups rather than plastic alternatives
🌱 Using environmentally friendly materials and products where we can

Modern dentistry is constantly evolving, and we believe small changes can make a big difference over time.

Thank you to our patients for supporting a practice that is always striving to improve - not just for our patients, but for the environment too. 💚

Did you know that snoring can affect more than just your sleep? 😴

In this video, Maggie explains how snoring and mouth breathing can lead to a dry mouth - which may increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath.

Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth and gums, so when your mouth becomes dry overnight, it can have a bigger impact on your oral health than many people realise.

If you struggle with snoring, waking with a dry mouth, or persistent bad breath, it may be worth speaking to a dentist.
