| DM to book While teeth whitening is a non-invasive and virtually painless procedure that is considered extremely safe, there are some risks and considerations that you should be aware of.
- Certain people should not use teeth whitening pr
oducts. This group includes patients who have teeth that have become transparent as part of the aging process, patients who are sensitive to peroxide or other chemicals used in their chosen teeth whitening treatment, patients who have ultra-sensitive teeth or gums, which may be irritated by the chemicals used in the whitening process and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding as not enough research has been done on the effect of whitening agents on unborn or nursing babies.
- Sensitivity of the teeth and gums, particularly if using one of the higher-strength whitening agents.
- Gum irritation.
- Bleaching results cannot be guaranteed and will vary depending on your age, lifestyle, genetics and the initial color and condition of your teeth.
- If bleaching agents seep into your tooth through a crack or unfilled cavity, it can be extremely painful and cause internal tooth damage that may require further treatment such as root canal.
- Teeth whitening is not a permanent fix and how long results will last will vary depending on your age, genetics and lifestyle. Smoking and consuming food/drink that contains tannins - such as red wine, coffee and oranges – can cause stains to return quicker.
- Not all stains can be addressed by teeth whitening. You should check with your dentist to find out if the teeth whitening process, you choose will be effective before you make a purchase.
