How should you use trays and gel to limit irritation?
Use trays and gel exactly as instructed, keep gel off the gums, and follow the clinic’s sensitivity plan.
When should pain or a dark single tooth be examined?
Arrange an examination for pain, decay, gum inflammation, cracks, or a dark single tooth. Stop and contact the clinic for severe sensitivity or persistent gum injury.
