Colgate optic white pro series led
An LED whitening kit pairs a peroxide whitening gel with blue light, while the gel does most of the chemical work on tooth stains.
The short answer
Whitening gel contains a peroxide compound that can diffuse into enamel and dentine and break down colored molecules. An LED may illuminate the teeth and activate the product as directed, but it cannot whiten fillings, crowns, veneers, or other tooth-colored restorations.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
Follow the product instructions exactly, keep gel off the gums, and use a properly fitting tray or strip. A dental examination is useful before whitening when teeth are sensitive, decayed, cracked, or covered by visible restorations.
What can you do next?
Stop the treatment and seek dental advice if you develop significant gum irritation, persistent sensitivity, or pain. Whitening does not treat decay or remove hard tartar, so those problems need dental treatment first.
When should you seek dental care?
Ask which stains are likely to respond, whether existing restorations will change color, how to reduce sensitivity, and whether the gel concentration suits your teeth and gums.
What should you ask the dentist?
Peroxide gel is the main whitening agent.
