What can you do next?

Have the teeth and gums examined, with shade recorded and gel concentration and contact time explained before treatment.

When should you seek dental care?

Persistent sensitivity, gum burns, uneven color, or tooth pain should be assessed.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask what gel is used, what the light changes, and how restorations will match.
