What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

Lumino is a product or service name, not a clinical diagnosis; whitening may mean peroxide gel in custom trays or an in-clinic application, and the quoted treatment should identify which method is offered. A clinical examination separates these possibilities.

What can you do next?

Ask for a written breakdown covering the examination, shade assessment, gel concentration, trays, replacement gel, sensitivity advice, follow-up, and treatment of decay or gum disease before whitening. Arrange an examination if the problem persists or worsens.

When should you seek dental care?

Have a dentist assess dark fillings, crowns, veneers, decay, gum inflammation, or a single dark tooth because whitening changes natural tooth colour but not most restorations. Do not wait if swelling affects swallowing or breathing.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask what exactly the quote includes, whether sensitivity or existing dental work changes the plan, and how the dentist will match the result to fillings or crowns. Ask what the examination shows and what alternatives are reasonable.

Frequently asked questions

What information should I bring?

Bring the start date, triggers, medicines, recent dental work, medical conditions, and any change in swelling, colour, bleeding, or function.
