Can I whiten around a cavity?+
Cavities are among the findings that may need care first, and your dentist will advise you on your own tooth. A filling placed before whitening may also need to be planned with colour in mind.
Is whitening off the table if my gums bleed during brushing?+
Not necessarily forever. Inflammation may need attention first, so let your dentist examine your gums and explain what is causing the bleeding and how that affects the timing.
Could whitening cover up a problem I should know about?+
Lighter teeth could make a concern less obvious without resolving it, and that is one reason the examination comes first. This is especially relevant to a single tooth that has darkened.
Does a cracked tooth mean I can never whiten?+
The crack needs to be assessed before any decisions are made. Once your dentist understands how it affects that tooth, they can explain your treatment choices and how whitening might fit in.
If I need a new crown, should I whiten first?+
Often the sequence is to whiten natural teeth and then match the restoration, because the crown will not lighten later. However, a tooth’s health can change that order, so ask your dentist.
What if the examination finds several things?+
You can ask to have the findings explained one at a time, along with which ones need attention sooner. That gives you a clearer basis for deciding what to do next.
