How do I switch from another gum treatment to the Light-activated gum care kit?

Tell your prescriber why you want to switch to the Light-activated gum care kit and what you currently use. Include prescription rinses, antibiotics, over-the-counter mouthwash, whitening products, and any other oral light device. Share recent dental diagnoses and procedures, along with any side effects you have had.

A licensed physician or dentist in your state decides whether the kit is appropriate. They should explain whether to stop the old treatment, whether overlap is safe, and when to start the new one. There is no single waiting period that applies to every mouth treatment. Do not assume that rinsing between products prevents an interaction or irritation.

Do not abandon a prescribed antibiotic course or cancel needed dental treatment without discussing it with your treating clinician. This kit is not an automatic replacement for professional cleaning or treatment of gum disease. If the rinse is compounded, it is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and is not FDA-approved. Before starting, confirm the new rinse dose and device directions on your prescription label.
