Go bright teeth whitening

Professional tooth whitening uses a peroxide gel to lighten stains in natural enamel and dentin.

This phrase describes cosmetic whitening rather than a diagnosis. Extrinsic stains sit on the surface, while intrinsic colour changes lie within enamel or dentin and may respond differently.

A dentist checks for decay, gum inflammation, cracks, and restorations before selecting in-office gel or a custom tray. Follow the prescribed wear time, avoid irritating products, and report sensitivity so the protocol can be adjusted.

See a dentist before whitening if you have pain, untreated decay, gum disease, or severe sensitivity. Seek care for persistent pain or a chemical burn on the gums.

Ask which stains can respond, whether restorations will mismatch, which peroxide protocol is planned, and how sensitivity will be managed.
