How safe is a home whitening kit for your teeth?

The risks of a home whitening kit depend on its ingredient, concentration, tray fit, contact time, tooth condition, and gum health.

How can home whitening affect teeth and restorations?

Peroxide whitening can irritate gums or increase sensitivity, and crowns, veneers, fillings, and bonding do not whiten like natural enamel.

What should you check before using a whitening kit?

Check the ingredient list, follow the stated exposure time, stop for significant pain or gum contact, and have untreated decay, cracks, recession, or restorations assessed first.

When can whitening symptoms require dental care?

Seek care for chemical burns, persistent sensitivity, severe pain, or a dark single tooth.

What should you ask about a whitening-related finding?

Ask what is causing the finding, which examination or tests are needed, and which treatment addresses the cause.
