There are things to avoid before a teeth cleaning; we recommend avoiding whitening treatments, indulging in excessive sugary and acidic foods, and brushing your teeth too hard.
Using whitening products before your teeth cleaning can cause sensitivity during treatment. Also, excessive sugar and acidic foods/drinks can leave more film on the teeth, which prolongs your appointment. Finally, brushing too hard (even if you’re not having a teeth cleaning) is never a good idea because it can damage enamel and lead to bleeding gums.
