The short answer

How does whitening gel break down tooth stains?
Whitening gel releases oxygen that breaks down stain molecules. A clinician first checks for cavities, gum inflammation, exposed root surfaces, and fillings because whitening changes natural tooth colour but not restorations.
How can you use whitening gel without irritating gums?
Use a dentist-made tray or the prescribed product concentration, keep gel off the gums, and follow the written wear time. Treat decay or gum disease before whitening and stop if marked sensitivity or gum burning develops.
When should teeth be examined before whitening?
Arrange a dental examination before whitening if teeth hurt, gums bleed, or a tooth has a crack. Seek prompt care for facial swelling, fever, or severe pain, since whitening will not treat infection.
Which whitening option and schedule suit your teeth?
Ask whether your discolouration is surface stain or internal, whether fillings will need colour matching, and which peroxide strength and tray-wear schedule fit your teeth.
