What should I do if I miss a Light-activated gum care kit treatment?
Short answer
Check your prescription label for missed-treatment directions for the Light-activated gum care kit. If it gives no instructions, ask your prescribing physician or pharmacist. Do not double the rinse, extend the light session, or add extra sessions to catch up. Follow the prescribed schedule when you resume.
If you miss a Light-activated gum care kit treatment, look for missed-treatment instructions on the rinse label and in your visit notes. Follow those directions rather than applying advice for a different medicine. If the instructions do not cover a missed treatment, ask your prescribing physician or pharmacist how to resume.
Do not use twice the rinse amount, run the device longer, or fit several sessions into one day to catch up. The typical routine is rinse followed by 1 minute of light use daily, but your prescription and label determine your schedule. Extra exposure is not a substitute for a missed session.
If you miss several days, or stop because your mouth hurts, tell your prescriber before restarting. They may need to review your symptoms and treatment plan. A reminder on your phone may help you keep track. Record completed treatments so you do not accidentally repeat one. If you are unsure whether you already used the kit that day, ask your pharmacist for advice rather than guessing.
