Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions regarding their treatment options. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following bleaching-related questions:

1. Am I a good candidate for bleaching?
   
   
2. Are my gums healthy enough to withstand teeth bleaching?
   
   
3. What type of bleaching is best for me?
   
   
4. Would you recommend any over-the-counter products?
   
   
5. How much whiter are my teeth likely to become?
   
   
6. How long will this treatment take?
   
   
7. How long may I expect to maintain whiter teeth?
   
   
8. How can I avoid staining my teeth in the future?
   
   
9. Would I benefit from any other cosmetic procedures, as well?
   
   
10. Should I make an appointment for a follow-up?
