Bleaching Precautions
- Keep tooth bleaching product away from small children.
- A dental examination is recommended prior to bleaching.
- Some discolorations may indicate the need for dental treatment other than bleaching. Porcelain crowns, veneers, and white fillings do not lighten upon bleaching.
- Only intended for use by those with healthy gum tissue. Gum tissue irritation may result if used in individuals with periodontal disease.
- This product is NOT for nighttime use.
- Occasionally, some parts of teeth may bleach faster or less evenly than others. Results may be varied. In approximately 5% of the population, teeth may be resistant to bleaching. Bleaching teeth with large metal fillings may cause the metal color to show through the teeth.
- Acidic foods/juices may cause sensitivity if consumed shortly after bleaching.
- Do not use tobacco products or eat while bleaching.
- Not intended for use by pregnant women. Consult a health care practitioner if you are breastfeeding.
