What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

The gel diffuses through enamel and dentine and breaks down colored compounds. It changes the shade of natural teeth, but not the color of fillings, crowns, veneers, or other restorations.

What can you do next?

A dentist should examine the teeth and gums, make or check the trays, explain gel placement, and set a wear schedule. Keep gel off the gums, store it as directed, and stop if marked sensitivity or irritation occurs.

When should you seek dental care?

Seek an examination before using the system if you have untreated decay, cracked teeth, gum recession, active gum inflammation, or a single dark tooth.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask which gel concentration and wear schedule fit your mouth, how trays should be cleaned, what to do about sensitivity, and whether visible restorations will need separate treatment.
