What is the direct answer?

GLO whitening is a light-assisted peroxide whitening system that aims to reduce tooth stain after a dental check and protection of the gums.

What does this question mean?

The whitening gel contains peroxide, which oxidizes colour compounds in enamel and dentine; the device supplies light and warmth according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

What can you do next?

Results depend on the starting shade, cause of discolouration, enamel condition, exposure to staining foods, and whether fillings or crowns are present.

Frequently asked questions

Can home care cure the underlying problem?

Home care can reduce irritation and symptoms, but decay, infection, cracks, and persistent lesions need diagnosis and treatment.

What information should I bring?

Note when it began, what triggers it, where it is, what makes it better or worse, and any swelling, bleeding, trauma, or medicines.
