What is the direct answer?
Pro Touch is a professional whitening treatment using peroxide gel after the teeth and gums have been examined.
What does this question mean?
Peroxide oxidizes stain molecules in natural enamel and dentin. Crowns, fillings, veneers, and bonding do not whiten like natural teeth.
What can you do next?
A clinician records shade, protects the gums, applies timed gel cycles, removes the gel, and gives aftercare instructions. Existing decay or gum disease should be treated first.
When should you seek dental care?
Seek care for intense pain, a burn-like gum patch, swelling, or a dark single tooth that has not been diagnosed.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask which peroxide product is used, how sensitivity will be managed, and how existing restorations will look after whitening.
