Emergency: What do I do if something went wrong while whitening my teeth at home?

February 25

Zähne aufhellen Zuhause

 

We understand some of the uncertainties and fears that can arise with teeth whitening and understand that questioning is a healthy process. Although we are not aware of a single emergency related to OnlySmile and the safety of our products is always our top priority, in today's article we talk about actions you can take if something goes wrong.

 

The teeth were whitened unevenly and are now stained

One feared situation that we regularly get news about is one where the result of home teeth whitening has not become uniform. Because the proportion of active ingredients in our products is so low, they whiten the teeth very gently. This means that strong contrasts between teeth or color gradients can almost be ruled out.

The lightening result with OnlySmile products is so subtle that for some it is not directly visible. Therefore, we can safely recommend two runs in a row if the discoloration is severe.

Caution is advised when wearing temporaries, dentures, veneers, fillings or crowns. The material used here does not correspond to that of the body's own tooth enamel and therefore reacts differently to tooth whitening. In this case, we recommend consulting your dentist.

 

Emergency plan for teeth whitening at home

Although we cannot imagine an emergency with OnlySmile products, we would like to explain step by step what you can do in the situation. Act according to your own intuition as soon as something feels "strange" and start with the following measures:

  • Take out the mouthpiece and rinse your mouth with water for 2 to 5 minutes. In doing so, clear your mouth of all remnants of the teeth whitening
  • Take stock: look at your teeth, tongue, and gums in the mirror. Then feel your way through the rows of teeth with your tongue. Can you spot irregularities?

If the answer to this question is "no," take a deep breath and try to figure out where your feeling of insecurity came from. If necessary, contact a person you trust or get advice from the dentist. Honest conversations can convey security.

Tip: Chamomile tea not only calms the nerves, but also contracts vessels and inhibits inflammation.

Take the following steps in the event of visible or tangible changes (sensitivity to pain, redness, swelling, bleeding, etc.):

  • Call the dentist: When it comes to changes in the oral cavity, the dentist is the first point of contact. Explain the situation on the phone and get an appointment.
  • If you are allergic to an ingredient (redness, swelling, tickling, etc.), there is no avoiding a visit to the hospital. An allergic reaction cannot be ruled out and must be treated. Get on your way right away - if the airways are narrowed, there is a risk of suffocation and every minute counts!
  • If you cannot get an appointment with your dentist at such short notice, but do not want to forego a professional assessment, you can contact special doctor hotlines. You can find various phone numbers on the Internet. This advice does not replace a visit to the dentist, but can provide clues as to the cause and treatment advice. These hotlines are a good first point of contact, especially during the corona pandemic.
