So you’ve had laser gum bleaching. Congrats! Your gums should look healthier, brighter, and way more even. But nobody really tells you this bit: what do you see right after treatment won’t last unless you actually look after them properly.
Those first couple of weeks are absolutely crucial. Mess up the aftercare, you’ll end up with patchy healing. Maybe even see the pigmentation coming back faster than you’d like. Good news is, it doesn’t take much to keep your gums looking pink and healthy for years. We’re going to walk you through the whole thing, what to do on day one, what to watch for in week one, and how to make sure you’re protecting your investment long-term.
Right after your procedure, be gentle with your gums. Might feel a bit tender. Could be some swelling.
Your body’s already started the repair process. Now you need to help it along:
Straws are a problem because they create suction. That suction can pull away the tiny clots forming on your gums. Those clots are doing the hard work of healing. Leave them alone.
First week, rinse with warm salt water every few hours. Not scalding hot. Just warm. A teaspoon of salt, a half a cup of water. Gently swish it around 15 to 30 seconds.
This aids in calming down the whole smack and removal of bits of food. Don’t spit like it was a contest. only leave the water to dribble itself.
Brushing needs extra care:
What not to eat this week:
Yeah, it’ll be a bit sensitive. That’s expected. Get a few painkillers that you can buy over the counter.
Swelling usually hits its peak on day two, then starts getting better:
Going for expert laser dentistry services in Sydney gives you excellent results. But you’ve got to put in some work to keep those pink gums. Most people see the full effect within one to two weeks. Maintaining it? That’s about tackling what causes the pigmentation to begin with.
Smoking’s the biggest problem:
Water matters too. Keeps your tissues moist, helps everything heal properly. Not just a sip here and there. Actually, drink enough throughout the day.
Regular dental visits aren’t optional:
Good oral hygiene is non-negotiable. Brush twice a day. Soft toothbrush. Floss carefully but don’t skip it. These habits stop gum disease, which can completely ruin your results.
If you’ve been prescribed antiseptic mouthwash, use it:
Don’t skip doses just because everything feels fine
Most of the time, healing’s straightforward. No fuss. But call us straight away if you notice:
Bit of colour unevenness while you’re healing? That’s normal. Sorts itself out. But if something’s still off after a while, don’t just hope it fixes itself. Get it checked.
