Glo brilliant teeth whitening
GLO Brilliant combines peroxide whitening gel with a mouthpiece light, and suitability depends on your teeth and gum health.
The short answer
GLO Brilliant is an at-home whitening system that combines a peroxide whitening gel with a mouthpiece light, and its suitability depends on your teeth and gums. Whitening gel uses peroxide to oxidise some stain molecules within enamel and dentin. A light device may be part of the system, but it does not whiten fillings, crowns, veneers, or other tooth-coloured restorations.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
Whitening gel uses peroxide to oxidise some stain molecules within enamel and dentin. A light device may be part of the system, but it does not whiten fillings, crowns, veneers, or other tooth-coloured restorations.
What can you do next?
Before use, check the product instructions and have untreated decay, leaking fillings, gum inflammation, and sensitivity assessed. Apply only the directed amount, keep gel off the gums, and stop if marked irritation or pain occurs.
When should you seek dental care?
Ask a dentist before whitening if you have cavities, enamel defects, gum recession, pregnancy-related concerns, or extensive restorations. Dental examination helps distinguish surface stain from intrinsic colour that may need another treatment.
What should you ask the dentist?
Will whitening change a crown or filling? Why can whitening cause sensitivity?
