Tooth desensitising mousse is available for use after the teeth whitening process, should your teeth become sensitised. The mousse can be applied in the teeth whitening trays and worn as normal.
Mousse Application
- Following bleach application, rinse the custom tray thoroughly under running water; then apply a generous layer of tooth mousse into the upper and lower trays.
- Leave the tray undisturbed in the mouth for a minimum of three minutes.
- Remove the tray.
- Use the tongue to spread the remaining the mousse throughout the mouth and retain as long as possible (1-2 minutes), delaying swallowing during this time. The longer the tooth mousse and saliva are maintained in the mouth the more effective the result.
Avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes following application.
Remove residue from tray under running water immediately after use.
