Tooth sensitivity or irritation of the mouth can appear during treatment.

Tooth sensitivity or irritation of the mouth can appear during treatment. In some situations the protocol needs to be delayed or adapted. The assessment beforehand helps identify dental or gum problems that need treating.
Do not extend the applications or mix products to try to get a quicker result. The professional should explain what to do if you feel discomfort. Significant or persistent pain should not be ignored.
Restorations such as crowns, fillings and veneers do not change colour with whitening. A difference in shade may become more visible. The choice should take this into account rather than promise an even shade to every patient.

Principles to help you prepare your questions. The assessment makes it possible to know what suits your situation.
| Item | Principle | To clarify at the clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Whitening | Lightens natural teeth. | Does not change the shape; existing restorations do not whiten. |
| Composite | Adds a resin to correct certain shape defects. | Maintenance, touch-ups and possibilities depend on the tooth. |
| Veneers | Cover the visible surface to change shape and appearance. | Some preparation may be needed and must be explained before any decision. |
A daily guide
The NHS recommends about 2 minutes of brushing, twice a day, with a fluoride toothpaste.
