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.

🪥 Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth?

Many people think a little bleeding is normal, but it’s often your gums’ way of telling you that something isn’t quite right.

In this video, Dr Richard Ford explains some of the most common reasons gums bleed and what you can do to improve your gum health at home.

The good news is that, in many cases, bleeding gums can be improved with the right oral hygiene routine and professional support.

Watch the video to learn more and let us know if you’ve got a dental question you’d like us to answer next.

🦷 Dental myth or dental fact? 🤔

One of the most common myths we hear is that teeth whitening is bad for your teeth.

In this video, Maggie explains why professionally prescribed teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile when carried out under the guidance of a dental professional.

Unfortunately, misinformation can stop people from exploring treatments that could help them feel more confident about their smile. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing trusted advice and helping patients make informed decisions about their oral health.

🥤 Are sugary drinks really bad for your teeth?

It’s a question we hear all the time.

In this video, our Therapist Flora explains how sugary drinks can affect your teeth and why it’s not just the amount of sugar that matters, but how often you’re having it throughout the day.

The good news? You don’t have to give up all your favourite drinks. A few simple changes can make a big difference to your oral health.

Watch Flora’s advice and let us know if there’s a dental question you’d like us to answer next.

At Evolve, we’re incredibly proud of our team - not just for the care they provide to our patients, but for the difference they make beyond the practice too. 💜

On 30 July, our wonderful dental nurse, Kayse, and her brother will be taking on an incredible challenge by completing a charity skydive in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

They’re stepping well outside their comfort zones to raise money for a cause that means so much. Alzheimer’s and dementia affect millions of families, taking away precious memories and changing lives forever. By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK, they’re helping to fund vital research into better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Their fundraising target is £650, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference.

If you’d like to support Kayse and her brother, you can donate here:

Good luck with the jump Kayse - we know you’ll be amazing! ✈️💜

“How long will it take?” 🤔

It’s one of the first questions we hear from patients considering teeth straightening - and the honest answer is that every smile is different.

Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take longer. The good news is that modern orthodontic treatment is carefully planned from the start, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect before treatment begins.

At Evolve Dentistry, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.

Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve the overall appearance of your smile, the journey may be shorter than you think.

It’s World Wellbeing Week, and we’d love to hear from you!

Looking after your wellbeing doesn’t have to mean making big changes. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference - a walk in the fresh air, spending time with family, exercising, reading a good book or enjoying a coffee with a friend.

At Evolve, we know that looking after your wellbeing is an important part of living a happy, healthy life.

So, here’s our question:

💙 What is your favourite way to look after your wellbeing?
