Examination first
Tooth and gum health should be assessed before whitening. If there is decay or gum trouble, that is handled first.
Set expectations
Existing fillings and crowns do not respond to whitening agents. Results vary between people and may fade over time.
Sensitivity
Temporary sensitivity can occur. Following the products and methods your dentist recommends is safer than using products on your own.
Keeping the result
Reducing staining factors such as tea, coffee and smoking, and regular cleaning, help the result last longer.
