Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during the treatment. These Symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment. patients using Nite White EXCEL are less likely to get tooth Sensitivity.

The teeth will always be lighter than they once were. However, Some patients may need tooth whitening ''Touch-up'' for 1-2 days, once or twice a year. In order to maintain the whitest tooth Shade possible, it is best to avoid substances like coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco.
