What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

Whitening strips act on natural tooth structure but do not change the colour of crowns, fillings, veneers, or other restorations.

What can you do next?

Read the exact package directions, keep gel off the gums, and stop using the strips if marked irritation or persistent sensitivity develops. A dental examination should come first when teeth are decayed, cracked, or painful.

When should you seek dental care?

Seek dental care for severe sensitivity, gum burns, uneven darkening, or pain that continues after stopping the product.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask whether the discolouration is intrinsic, whether restorations will match afterward, and whether supervised whitening or another treatment is more suitable.

Frequently asked questions

Could this have another cause?

Yes. An examination is needed when different dental or oral conditions can produce similar symptoms.

What should I bring to the appointment?

Bring a list of medicines, relevant medical conditions, when the symptom began, and anything that makes it better or worse.
