General
I understand that I am participating in a professional teeth whitening procedure that is designed to lighten the color of my
teeth. I understand that I will be allowed to use a specially designed LED Lamp in order to accelerate the whitening
process. Results Guarantee
Although most natural teeth can benefit from a teeth whitening treatment, I understand that everyone’s teeth are different
and that results will vary. I understand that people with yellowish teeth generally get the best results and that if my teeth
have spots due to tetracycline use (grayish tint) or fluorosis, these will be difficult to whiten. Also, if I have artificial teeth,
caps, crowns, veneers, porcelain, composite or other restorative materials, I shouldn’t expect dramatic results from this
treatment because the peroxide gel will not whiten (or damage) artificial dental work. Also, I am aware that my teeth
will never be whiter than the white color my genes naturally allow. Potential Risks
Although whitening treatments are generally safe, I understand that some of the potential complications of this treatment
include, but are not limited to: GUM/LIP IRRITATION: Whitening gel that comes in contact with gum tissue or the lips during the treatment may
cause inflammation or whitening of these areas. This is due to inadvertent exposure of small areas of those tissues to the
whitening gel. The inflammation and/or whitening of gums and lips is transient, and the color change of the gum tissue
will reverse within 30 minutes. I may feel a stinging and tingling sensation on these soft tissues during the treatment if the
gel comes in contact with them. TOOTH SENSITIVITY: Although uncommon, some customers can experience some tooth sensitivity during the
first 24 hours after the whitening treatment. People with existing sensitivity, recently cracked teeth, micro-cracks, open
cavities, leaking fillings, exposed roots, or other dental conditions that cause sensitivity may find that those conditions
increase or prolong tooth sensitivity after the treatment. SPOTS OR STREAKS: Some customers may develop white spots or streaks on their teeth due to CALCIUM
DEPOSITS that naturally occur in teeth. These spots are NOT caused by the peroxide gel. The gel just brings the already
existing calcium deposits out and makes them visible again. These usually diminish over time. RELAPSE: After the treatment, it is natural for teeth color to regress somewhat over time. This is natural and should be
very gradual, but it can be accelerated by exposing the teeth to various staining agents, such as coffee, tea, tobacco, red
wine, colas, etc. I realize that I should not eat or drink anything except water during 60 minutes after the treatment because
the gel opens the pores of my enamel and makes my teeth very vulnerable to staining agents. If I purchase a touch-up pen,
I realize that my pores will remain open for as long as I use it so I should refrain from staining agents till I stop using the
pen. Only 24 hours after I conclude the touch-up pen treatment can I resume my normal habits. I understand that the results
of the treatment are not intended to be permanent and that secondary, repeat or touch-up treatments may be needed for me
to maintain the color I desire for my teeth. Eligibility
I understand that this treatment CANNOT be used by pregnant or lactating women, people under the age of 14,
people with gum disease, open cavities, leaking fillings, or other dental conditions, or people with a known allergy
to peroxide and/or to aloe vera. People that have had braces removed should wait 6 months for cement residue to
wear off before getting a teeth whitening treatment and people with a piercing or other metal objects in the oral
cavity should remove them before the treatment as they may turn black. If I feel a sharp pain on a particular tooth
during the treatment I should stop the treatment and contact my dentist since this could be a sign of an open cavity.
By signing this document, I indicate that I am not ineligible as per the criteria listed above, that I have read and fully
understand this entire document including the possible risks, complications and benefits that can result from the treatment,
and that I am performing this treatment under my own responsibility. I also certify that I HAVE HEALTHY TEETH AND
GUMS.
