What can you do next?

Request a written plan separating examination, cleaning, whitening, trays, reviews, and restoration work.

When should you seek dental care?

Have an examination first if you have sensitivity, decay, gum bleeding, or one dark tooth.

No. Home care supports the mouth, but it cannot diagnose or repair a dental problem.

The affected tissue, severity, symptoms, bite, existing restorations, and health history guide treatment.
