Recovery & concerns
Pay attention to how symptoms change. If you are unsure whether something is expected, contact your team.
What you may notice
- Temporary sensitivity can occur and often settles within a day or two.
- Natural teeth and existing restorations can respond differently in color.
Contact your office if…
- Sensitivity is severe or lasts more than a few days.
- Your gums are painful or irritated.
- You are unsure whether to continue your home whitening schedule.
Sensitivity and irritation
Whitening can irritate teeth or gums. More product or longer wear does not make it safer. Tell us about symptoms so we can adjust your plan.
Medical emergency? Call 911 for trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, fainting, or other life-threatening symptoms. Do not wait for an office reply. Emergency guidance
Your doctor’s instructions take priority. If you had more than one procedure, ask your team which instructions to follow. Contact your office.
